A gery good Move indeed ! Dalits are a fraction of Hindus. They were driven away by the higher cast communites; which led the Dalits to take shelter in other religions by converting. Now it is the higher casts who must embrace them and give them a feeling of equal existance.

dalits are 21% population in india.missionaries after converting 60% of dalits leave them in lurch with discrimination worst than they were facing in hinduism.recent fight between caste christians and dalits christians in tamilnadu prompted christians dalits to revert back to hinduism,their parents religion which they were following from their forefathers.seperate dalit churches were erected for which missionaries kept quite.now conversion is slowly getting arrested due to dalits feel hinduism is better than being in allien religion from desert region

According to vedas & hindu scriptures, a sudra or dalith cannot become a brahmin for that he has to take 3 life. if they do so they are going against their books.

Sunit Kumar,
I've shared my lunch that (my mother prepared) with starving Dalit children in school on my mother's advise. Whereas Brahmin students of my class refused to sit on the same bench. My sense of equality from my early school years.
Face the reality ! I have not abused your deity hence no need to drag my faith into the discussion !
