Discrimination of backword people continues even after conversion to Islam and Christianity
Some people belonging to the backward communities have been converted to Islam and Christianity by Muslim clerics and Christian priests under the pretext of facing discrimination in Hinduism. It has been widely accepted that the backward people faced discrimination by the then upper-caste people before Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's movement against untouchability in India. Several upper-caste people also participated in this movement. Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar embraced Buddhism to maintain Indian roots and rejected Islam and Christianity after deeply studying and understanding these Semitic religious teachings. However, many backward people, because of illiteracy and poverty, became the victim of preachers of these Semitic religions and are still facing discrimination in Islam and Christianity.
