Recognizing that more than 160,000,000 people in India 
are considered untouchable and dehumanized by the 
caste system. 
Whereas the caste system, which dates back more than 2,000 
years, divides the population into higher castes which in-
clude priests and warriors and lower castes such as labor-
ers; 
Whereas the untouchables’ most basic needs are not fulfilled, 
and untouchables face great difficulties in accessing em-
ployment, education, food, and health care; 
Whereas most untouchables are among the poorest people in 
the world, living on less than $1 per day; 
Whereas India’s untouchables are relegated to undesirable

ated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped with impunity by 
upper caste Hindus seeking to keep them in their place; 
Whereas the police, village councils and government officials 
often support the caste system, which is based on Hindu 
religious teachings; 
Whereas many crimes go unreported due to fear of reprisal, 
police intimidation, inability to pay bribes demanded by 
police, or simply the knowledge that the police will do 
nothing; 
Whereas at the bottom of the untouchable caste are Dalits; 
Whereas nearly 90 percent of all poor Indians and 95 percent 
of all illiterate Indians are Dalits; 
Whereas every hour two Dalits are assaulted and every day 
three women are raped, two Dalits are murdered, and 
two Dalit homes are torched; and 
Whereas the caste system, a powerful tool for social segrega-
tion, runs deep in the minds of Indians and has implica-
tions in everyday life: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives, ac-
knowledging that caste-based discrimination is institu-
tionalized throughout India and that its corrosive influ-
ence on the Indian people must be effectively addressed, 
recognizes the caste system’s debilitating influence on the 
daily lives of millions in India and encourages the United 
States to work with India to find new approaches to this 
age-old problem.
