Discrimination: Dalits, Women, and Afrian Americans

Throughout history, mankind has always found a small, weak group to discriminate against. This tradition of hatred and prejudice still exists today.

The Dalits, and all the lower castes of Indian culture, however, have yet to establish themselves as equals with those around them.
