WHO ARE THE DALIT PEOPLE?

For over 3000 years the Dalits – or Untouchables – have been positioned at the bottom of India's society and are subject to the most aggressive and dehumanising abuse. They are born into a culture that devalues them from birth with society considering them lower than animals. The term ‘Dalit’ literally translates to downtrodden or oppressed and there are 250 million Dalits who are exposed to this injustice.

ABOUT THE CHARITY BEHIND THESE CANDLES:

The Dalit Goods brand was founded by the Life Association charity to raise awareness of the Dalits people's plight and raise funds for the charity. The products created by Dalit Goods are based on the clay drinking pots which, for thousands of years, the Dalit people have often been forced to drink from and then smash on the ground as a sign of their supposed untouchability in a powerful symbol of oppression.
