The Dalit Awakening


Who are the Dalits?

They are approximately 300 million people who are deemed "untouchable" and comprise the lowest rung of the Hindu caste system. Since the origin of this system 3,000 years ago, the Dalits have lived in bondage to the code of caste. They have been unable to escape their fate and are deprived of even the most basic liberties and privileges, including the freedom to decide where to live, work and worship.

We invite you to learn more about the widespread opportunity the Lord has given us to share His love with the Dalits.
