| Summary / Abstract (Note) | After 1950s a large number of Indians migrated to United Kingdom (UK) with cultural, traditions and religious values and practices, which included practice of caste discrimination too. As Dr. BR Ambedkar anticipated, the Indian migrants will carry the caste system to other regions of earth and it would become a problem of the world. This prediction came true as cast discrimination has indeed migrated with the Indian Diaspora to east and south Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, Surinam, the middle east (for example in Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates), Malaysia, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, North America, and other regions (Natural 2001). With the other Indian Diaspora dalits (untouchables) of India also migrated to the UK. It has been estimated that around 250000 dalits are living in the UK (CERD 79, UK Report.). |
