Conversion to Christianity has not redeemed 19 million Dalit Christians (which means oppressed and downtrodden) from social injustice. The Church in India is primarily a Dalit Church, because 70% of India's 25 million Christians are Dalits. If Christianity believes in equality of all men, why then did the Church allow the converted Dalits to hang on to their Hindu baggage? It is small wonder that the Dalit Christians have been clamouring for job reservation as a backward class.
