Dalit Muslim

Dalit Muslim is a term used to refer to Muslims in the Dalit group, i.e. the social group called Untouchables or Dalits, who have converted to Islam. In theory, converting to Islam takes converts out of the bounds of earlier caste system, but in practice they are often still treated as Dalits.
