Underreported: Caste Out

The Indian Constitution abolished discrimination based on caste over 50 years ago. Yet millions of Dalits (or "untouchables") still suffer from inequality. On today’s Underreported, Paul Divakar and Smita Narula examine caste-motivated killings, rapes, and other abuses suffered by Dalits. Paul Divakar is National Convenor of the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights. Smita Narula is Faculty Director of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at NYU School of Law, where she is also a Professor of the International Human Rights Clinic.
