Dalit Christians Protest for Scheduled Caste Status in Kurnool
Dalit Christians in Kurnool held a protest because they want to be recognized as Scheduled Caste members.
They believe this recognition would allow them to receive government benefits, which they are currently unable to access.
In 1950, a rule was made that people who changed religions were not considered Dalits, but some religious groups have since gained the status.
The protesters have been fighting for 75 years to have the same status.
They are now asking the government to support their cause.
Dalit Christians protested in Kurnool, demanding Scheduled Caste status.
Protesters say they are denied government benefits.
The protest occurred at the district collectorate.
They cited a 1950 ordinance denying Dalit status to those not Hindu.
Dalit Christians have been seeking recognition for 75 years.
