In what has been called India’s “hidden apartheid,” more than 165 million Dalits, or “untouchables,” continue to face discrimination, exploitation, and violence simply because of their caste. The report documents India’s systematic failure to respect, protect and ensure Dalits’ fundamental human rights.
