dalits were called as ''hari jans' by gandhi in 1940s while bagawath sri ramunujar called them before 1000 years as''sri kulam'(in tamil,he named as 'thiru kulathar )and allowed entry to the temple and gave some work in temple maintenance for dalits.sri viyazar who wrote mahabharatha and sri valmiki who wrote ramayana were only dalits origin.even two alwars belong to this section and hence they are very much part of hinduism more than anyone.only some converts who were fed with wrong information by some vested interest like chirstian missioneries and communists misled them to talk bad about brahmins and hinduism on whole.let hindus celebrate rama lila by burning ravana of ramayana period along with kali yuga ravanas.
