Can a Muslim or Christian be a Dalit?

Update: 2023-08-22

Description

On Scroll Ideas, we’ll take an idea, chew it up, break it down and explore it from every angle possible. It could be anything: #politics, #history, #finance, #art, #food, #drink.

This week we have Khalid Anis Ansari, a sociologist and public intellectual whose work has engaged deeply with the idea of #caste among Indian #Muslims.

We explore a heated #debate that is ongoing at the moment: Can Muslims and #Christians also be Dalits?

Or does conversion to these so-called egalitarian faiths wipe away caste backwardness?
