| | Dalit (outcaste) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dalit poltician and activist B.R. Ambedkar was influential in encouraging many Dalits to convert to Buddhism in order to escape the inequities of the caste system. | | | Because many Dalits feel they must have a formal religion, the urge to change their religion is strong. | | | Defined in this way, 'Dalit' includes not only low-caste or outcaste Hindus, but also aborigonal followers of animist religions, and possibly may have historically included immigrant communities that subscribed to beliefs that were seen as being incompatible with orthodox brahmanist and Hindu traditions. |

| | Dalits In Jammu: Demanding To Be Heard By Yoginder Sikand |
| | Although some 2000 Dalits of the Batwal caste are said to have converted to Buddhism in recent years, they are said to be Buddhist only in name and to retain most of their Hindu beliefs and practices. | | | For this they underlined the need for Dalits to have a separate political voice of their own, pointing out that all the established parties in the state were either dominated by Kashmiri Muslims or 'upper' caste Hindus from Jammu, and hence could not be expected to champion Dalit concerns. | | | Many Dalits who are today counted as Hindus follow sectarian traditions that are markedly egalitarian and anti-Brahminical, such as the Ravidasi panth and the Kabirpanth. |

| | Dalits and tribals are not Hindus |
| | It is the dalits who opted for a religion of compassion and concern. | | | When Christian missionaries realised that the incorporation of dalits into the Hindu fold was the strongest obstacle to spread the Christian faith, they adopted a new policy to change their way of life by establishing schools and colleges, and by introducing social reform among the dalits. | | | The religion, beliefs, customs and ideals of dalits and tribals have been the very anti-thesis to the inegalitarian, exploitative and repressive culture of the Hindus. |

| | In this setting, which holds the possibility of a massive movement of Dalits away from their "Hindu" world-view to another religious frame of meaning and living, Christianity is also becoming involved in re-presenting itself to Dalit communities, and in at least three ways. | | | Kancha Ilaiah puts this well: "The Dalits have suffered untouchability and atrocities within the Hindu social order and they need to enter into a religion that grants them full religious rights." (28) Historically Dalits have re-clothed themselves in the symbol systems of various non-Hindu religions: Islam, Christianity, Sikhism and Buddhism being the most common. | | | On the one hand, religious conversion is a community effort by Dalits to denounce the symbolic world-view of conventional religion, within which the legitimization of the all-encompassing caste-based social order works. |
