Low-caste hindus and dalits-harijans (untouchables) have been suppressed, physically abused, and taken advantage of, by the cunning upper-caste hindu brahmins for generations. This is what happens when one community (upper caste hindus) controls the other (lower caste hindus) through cunning, deception, and nonsensical hindu idealogy that "All hindus are NOT born equal", and the lower castes decide to have communist idealogies to get their point across.

Maoists want communist rule across a number of states
The rebels are pressing for the creation of a communist state comprising tribal areas in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Bihar and Chhattisgarh.
They say their aim is to improve the economic and social rights of the poor and indigenous tribes.
The BBC's Sanjeev Srivastava in Delhi says federal authorities believe there may be 10,000 armed Maoist rebels in the country.
He says Delhi fears Indian Maoists may join hands with communist rebels in Nepal, who are fighting to overthrow the monarchy there.
Last month, suspected Maoists end nine officials in India's Andhra Pradesh state.
The attack led the state government to re-impose a ban on the Communist Party of India (Maoist).
Federal junior home minister Shriprakash Jaiswal said the latest attack was "a blow to Chhattisgarh because the Maoist situation was improving when the incident happened".
Mr Jaiswal said the central government had urged states to address social and economic matters to tackle the insurgency-hit areas.
