India’s Dalits: between atrocity and protest
This is a really important article on the lives of India's untouchable's, who often face some atrocious discrimination. Social class is an issue that is alive and well in British society but the Indians have taken it a whole step further down the wrong path.
The empire was often seen as the white man civilising natives over which he ruled. I can't say that i'm massively convinced by that argument as if it was so we should have ended this absurd medieval practice ages ago.
