How caste is practiced in Christianity? Kerala's Dalit Christian writer Aleena opens up

Many people think that caste discrimination exists only among Hindus. But in reality, it also exists among Christians—and sometimes it's even harsher. Aleena, who is a writer and a Dalit Christian, talks about the discrimination that Dalit Christians face, especially from other Christians who come from privileged backgrounds. This conversation is about the political aspects of this issue, the fight for reservation for Dalit Christians, and the attacks they face from right-wing groups in India. #southfirst #trending #trendingvideo #viralvideo #kerala #dalits #christianity #dailtchristians #castediscrimination #marginalizedvoices #marginalizedcommunities South First — as the name suggests — aims to provide accurate and non-partisan news from South India; and more importantly, create a platform for informed analysis of politics and policy in the Southern States, and for serious scrutiny of federalism.
