AI overview

Dalits are people in South Asia who have historically been excluded from the traditional caste hierarchy and treated as "untouchables," facing severe social discrimination and restrictions. Their status matters because this marginalization has persisted for centuries and continues to affect access to education, employment, and basic rights for millions of people today.
