thumb| Representation of the varna system hierarchy, depicting Brahmins (priests) at the highest level and Dalits (historically marginalized as untouchables, considered outside the varna system) at the lowest stratum.
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.

Dalitowie (popularnie pariasi, hindi दलित, trl. dalit (uciśnieni), dawniej hindi haridźan, potocznie także niedotykalni) — zbiorcza nazwa określająca różne grupy ludności w indyjskim systemie kastowym. Zaliczają się do nich zarówno osoby należące do najniższych kast (dźati), jak i osoby, które w ogóle znajdują się poza systemem kastowym. Liczebność dalitów szacuje się na około 260 mln (Indie, Bangladesz, Nepal, Sri Lanka). W samych Indiach żyje ich około 150–160 milionów (dane z 1991 r.).
