The impact of casteism is felt in many ways, and connected with almost all human rights concerns in India. Supporting the cry of India\u2019s Dalits in all religious communities for social justice, is one of the pressing needs of our times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing Untouchable is a moving and hard-hitting collection which exposes the present-day impact of centuries of oppression, and is a means by which we will urge foreign political and business leaders to promote an end to casteism through their interactions with India.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A press viewing on 18 October will be addressed by acclaimed Dalit poet and scholar, Meena Kandasamy, and award-winning publisher of anti-caste literature, S.
