Abstract
Dalit, meaning "broken/scattered" in Sanskrit and Hindi, is a term mostly used for the ethnic groups in India that have been kept depressed by subjecting them to untouchability (often termed backward castes).[1] Dalits were excluded from the four-fold varna system of Hinduism and were seen as forming a fifth varna, also known by the name of Panchama. Dalits now profess various religious beliefs, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity and various folk religionses were one of the least literate social groups in the country, with only 30% of Dalit children recognized to have basic reading and writing skills. For centuries, the Dalit population of India were forbidden from gaining access to education. Indian society had no motivation.
