@Kureela, your solution seems to have come out of hatred towards India than out of compassion towards Indian dalits. Mind you, separation isn’t the solution for every problem in the world; it might have been 60 years ago. Indian culture and society is going through a social and psychological change like many countries in the world have gone through in the past which had bigoted and intolerant attitudes towards black Africans for centuries for instance. Now, Dalits can’t be equated with blacks as they are not a different race within India on which they are being discriminated against but the social phenomena of black Africans does have similarities as far as human rights are concerned. Blacks didn’t get separated countries but they got equal rights as social acceptance amongst the majority came with time; more ‘dalits’ need to stand up for their rights and speak against the ones who oppress them. That’s the only key.
Dalits are suffering in other South-Asian countries like Pakistan too like other minorities whom we hardly hear about because nobody covers that in the media. In India, dalits are in greater numbers, so it may seem they are treated badly in India only (not that I condone that). To get rid of the discrimination against dalits, dalits need to become more assertive without playing the victims of everything that happens to them. The term Dalit should be gotten rid of to start off with.
