DALIT CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY AND THEIR MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS HUMAN DIGNITY

Abstract

Human dignity consciousness is very vibrant today. They are often inevitably linked to human rights. Fortunately, human rights are developed as an instrument of criticism, and an instrument of legitimation of all political and social institutions internationally. Subsequently, we also see growing social resentment and disapproval for those who aggressively violate the human rights and human dignity of others, in the name of caste, creed, colour, sex, ethnicity, language, nationality, etc. This shows that we live in an interdependent world, where we need to recognize, respect and appreciate ‘other’ peoples, in order that our moral life is meaningfully lived.
