AIM
The National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) is part of a wider struggle to abolish "untouchability" and to "cast out caste". "Untouchability" and caste discrimination continue to be a brutal reality for more than 160 million Dalits living in India today, despite the fact that more than half a century has passed since India was born as a "democratic" and independent state.
That India and the International Community recognise and uphold that Dalit Rights are Human Rights.
That India and the International Community say no to untouchability in the new millennium.
To cast out caste so as to build a new, just social order.
To establish equality, dignity and sustainability on the face of Mother Earth
