16.6 percent of India's population are Dalit.
93 percent of these, i.e. seventeen million six hundred and sixty four thousand (17,664,000) live below poverty line (BPL).
Their two giant foes are stigma and hunger.
Untouchability has marked them for discrimination, humiliation, exploitation, and social exclusion for generations.
Poverty attacks the young with malnutrition, stunted growth, susceptibility to chronic diseases, fear, and lack of sense of worth. It denies them good education and later steady employment and it adds exhaustion and sickness to their lives.

"They (Gandhi and Martin Luther King) were not trying to achieve a perfectly just world (even if there were any agreement on what that would be like), but they did want to remove clear injustices to the extent they could." Amaratya Sen, The Idea of Justice.
