Claim: The scheduled castes, sometimes referred to as Dalit, meaning "broken/scattered" in Sanskrit, comprise the majority of Laluwala's population (according to the 2011 census).
Evidence: Scheduled caste 657 808 Demographics (2011 Census) Dalit (Sanskrit: दलित, romanized: dälit), meaning "broken/scattered" in Sanskrit and Hindi, is a name for people belonging to the lowest caste in India characterized as "untouchable". India's National Commission for Scheduled Castes considers official use of dalit as a label to be "unconstitutional" because modern legislation prefers Scheduled Castes; however, some sources say that Dalit has encompassed more communities than the official term of Scheduled Castes and is sometimes used to refer to all of India's oppressed peoples.
