In English, they're called the scheduled caste, scheduled tribes, Other Backward Classes.
But in Hindi, their caste names are used as swear words.
These castes, OBC, SC, ST represent 70% of our population, sir.
They've been marginalized and regarded as minorities for eons, sir.
And we, the 30% of the population, regard them as lesser in status.
We let them do the jobs we don't want to do.
Nowadays our toilets have jet sprays.
But even now they still go down naked into filthy sewers to clean them.
Unprotected and naked.
We know all this, we see it every day.
We just ignore it.

After a teenager's death in an alleged attack by four men sparked protests across India, state police announced Thursday that she had not been raped. The suspects in the case remain in custody and still face murder charges.
The 19-year-old woman died on Tuesday, two weeks after she was allegedly attacked by upper caste men in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. She belonged to the Dalit community -- the lowest strata in India's caste based hierarchy.  
Local police initially said the victim was raped and strangled in a field near her home in Hathras. But on Thursday, the police said they were ruling out the rape allegations. 
在四名印度男子袭击一名少女并致死后，印度各地引发了抗议活动，州警察周四宣布，她没有遭到强奸。该案的嫌疑人仍被拘留，仍面临谋杀罪。
据称这名19岁的妇女在印度北部北方邦遭到上等种姓男子袭击的两周后于周二死亡。 她属于达利特人社区，即印度种姓等级制中最低的阶层。
当地警方最初表示，受害人被强奸并勒死在她位于哈斯拉斯的家附近的田地里。但是在星期四，警察说他们正在排除强奸指控。
