Dalit saints of Hinduism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalit is an ancient designation for a group of indigenous Indian people. Several influential Hindu saints, though, were members of this group.[1][2] Though there has also many historical Vedic period saints, whose descendants are now considered as Dalits.[3] Many of the saints have been classified as Shudra or Avarna, because there was no concept of Dalits or Harijan.
