1. **Dalits marginalized**: Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables") are a marginalized group at the bottom of India's caste hierarchy.
2. **Prison rules: Cooking and cleaning**: In many Indian prisons, dalit inmates are barred from cooking their own food and are instead forced to clean excrement and perform other menial tasks.
3. **Discrimination continues**: Despite instructions from authorities to end discrimination against dalits, upper-caste inmates often resist these changes, making it difficult to implement reforms.
4. **Human rights concerns**: The article raises human rights concerns about the treatment of dalit prisoners in India, highlighting the need for more effective measures to address caste-based discrimination.
Some quotes from the article include:
* "Upper-caste inmates make this easier said than done."
