Reassessing as C class[edit]

There are currently several hatnote tags such as confusing, undue weight, etc. in the article to be cleared for this article to be considered a B-class. As of now, I feel this article qualifies only for a C-class, so I'm reassessing this. Once these issues are cleared and more contents and few illustrative images added, we can move it to B class.

A Different Perspective on the Meaning of Dalit(दलित)[edit]

Beside the meaning of Sanskrit word "दलित"(Dalit) 'broken', 'scattered' in classical Sanskrit, it also means 'kneaded', 'pressurized' , 'downtrodden' when applied in a more specifically personal context.

Source:hi.m.wikipedia.org https://hi.m.wikipedia.org › wiki दलित

As Sanskrit is the origin lan. of Hindi and the letter-format is same for both Hindi and Sanskrit  except  for the first two letters of the alphabet of the languages , the Sanskrit meaning is same of a Sanskrit word as the Hindi meaning of that very same word.

For confirmation, one can see the eng. translation of the word 'दलित' in official "Google Translate" app offered by Google LLC making the Tr. system from Hindi to English. THE HINDI MEANINGS OF THE WORD "दलित" IN HINDI ARE AS FOLLOWS - 1. कुचला हुआ (trodden on or downtrodden) , दबाया हुआ(preesurized or suppressed) 2. नष्ट किया हुआ (ruined or devastated) The above mentioned bracketed eng. transliterations are the English translations of the Hindi meanings of the word 'दलित'. One knowing Hindi can also see the Hindi Wikipedia page of 'दलित', of which the link is given at the very beginning for clarification. 2402:3A80:113A:6FF9:B998:ABD2:43F0:7F94 (talk) 01:08, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
