Dalits in India

Despite good governmental intentions
Dalits still treated as untouchables,
Despite great progress by some.
In statistics last year, 2023
Ten Dalit women and girls raped
Every day by upper caste men.
Oten gang raped and beaten,
Usually with impunity, no penalties,
Higher caste rapists usually go free
Ironically in most holy Mother India.
Despite many holy men and women
Few seem to give not even a damn
About the plight of the low caste Dalits,
Considered polluted and unworthy
Of even entering holy temples.
Imagine if you, your mother or your
Sister were born that way in India.
