India's former untouchables, now Dalits-the people converted by the social
activity of the Indian politician and economist, Dr. Ambedkar, himself a
Dalit, who late in life-- after much review of the various religions of
India-- chose Buddhism as the way out of Hinduism and untouchability. After
his death, the movement continues to flourish in India, though often marred
by inter-group conflict along the lines of, unfortunately, caste-or if not
that, hereditary familial social statuses.
