Over the centuries the Punjab has been witness to large scale Dalit conversions to Islam, Sikhism and later to Christianity. Conversion divided Chuhras and Chamars into different religious categories and even different names were used for Chuhras belonging to different religions (i.e., Mussalli for the Muslims, Mazhabi for the Sikhs, Isai for the Christians, and Balmiki for those who kept to the
distinctive Chuhra religion.) Only Hindu and Sikh Dalits were included in the list of Scheduled Castes prepared by the Government of India after independence. Around 40% of the Dalits are Sikh by religion and practically all the Christians in Punjab are also Dalits. Christian Dalits were, however, kept out of the list of Scheduled Castes and were later included in the Backward Class category, creating a ground for discrimination against Christian Dalits. A good number of Dalits in the Punjab have converted to Buddhism in recent years.

Dalit Liberation

Casteism is so imbibed in our culture that conversion cannot eliminate the basics of it, I am against castiest discrimination but I am believer in caste, I am Jatt and their is always pride of being one, even in front of pundas:D

@ninja_hattori

Sorry My bad i posted another rumor…

@The Kaur…Dalit,bhangis all are part of shudra class…

BTW In lot of part dalits were supposed to clear caracass of dead animals…
Have you forget the recent killing of five dalits in jhajhjhar district of hariyana on suspicion of cow slaughter…
Where cow’s life was more precious than five fellow human beings…
Lot of atrocities happened with dalits…and we cant call them exaggerated…
They were not allowed to drink water from same sources…their housese used to be out side of towns and villages and that shows how they were insulted..

Dalit discriminate against Bhagis themselve, life of a pig is as important as human, in indian philosophy everything is created by god hence god see every creature with same eyes, Dalit got even ruled India they produced greatest leader like Mayawati,A Raja,Kanimozi etc:D

@muqawwee123

so who demanded Eklavya’s thumb? What happened to his archery after he offered his thumb?

Mahabharat closes his story there itself, I don’t remember if he is introduced ever again, though Krishna remains my favourite in the story because his personality sets the standard, he was Baap of Chankya in strategy:k:
