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.
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.

Wikipedia users asking for evidence when the post is pro-black, native non-Europeans, but Wikipedia often allows postings that are racist without asking for evidence"
For Wikipedia to be a legitimate source of information, it must weed out the white supremacy that many editors exhibit. Relatedly, too many articles are white-washed versions of actual history. This article about the "Dalit" totally ignores the role of the Aryans (from Iran) who invaded the Indus Valley (Northern India, Southern Pakistan, and Afghanistan) in c 1700 BCE and effectively did genocide against the original Tamils and other natives, and created Sanskrit and Hinduism plus the caste system we see today in India. Of course, these are theories till this day and not facts. These are mostly Christian propaganda by an early Christian missionary that wanted to convert the Tamils to Christianity. Just like the Abrahamic faiths that defend slavery the Brahmins practiced caste to the detriment of Indians. While these outdated colonialist theories are still nothing but theories as they are rightfully called even today; we need to hold Brahmins responsible even today.
"Similar groups are found throughout the rest of the Indian subcontinent; less than 2 per cent of Pakistan's population are Hindu and 70–75 per cent of those Hindus are Dalits, in Nepal, Bangladesh had 5 million Dalits in 2010 with the majority being landless and in chronic poverty, and Sri Lanka."
This sentence doesn't make any sense and should probably be revised. "in Nepal, Bangladesh had 5 million Dalits in 2010 with the majority being landless and in chronic poverty, and Sri Lanka." There are three countries listed and just one metric, without it being clear that applies to all three countries. The wording makes it sound like Bangladesh is a place that is in Nepal. This: ", and Sri Lanka." just doesn't make sense at all. If Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are a list of countries that all have 5 million landless, chronically impoverished Dalits, they should be grouped together at the beginning of the sentence. 155.190.19.6 (talk) 21:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
