Indias Broken People DVD

Discover the truth behind India's Untouchables, the Dalits.

After centuries of opression learn of new hope for their children.
The situation in India of the Untouchables, known now as the Dalits, is a disgrace in the modern world. This is a people who have been systematically oppressed and persecuted for 3,000 years, and yet today over 200 million so called "Untouchables" are still subject to extreme poverty, discrimination and agression. These three films about the Dalits, were all researched and filmed in India. Two of them portray everyday life of Dalits in Villages. They reflect the inspiring work of OM India and others who are working to provide previosuly unheard of educational opportunities for Dalit young people. Many in India belivee this initiative of education in English, provided in a spiritual framework, will promote a new freedom for the Dalits. The love of God, such a cliché in the west, means so much to young people who have been taught from the cradle upwards that their lives matter nothing and that they are without hope in both word and deed.
