Chandrashekhar Azad, leader of the Bhim Army, a political party of Dalits who represent the Hinduism's lowest caste, speaks during a protest against the gang rape and killing of a woman in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh, in New Delhi, India, Friday, October 2, 2020. Hundreds of protesters on Friday demanded the dismissal of a Hindu nationalist government in a northern Indian state where a 19-year-old woman from India’s lowest caste was allegedly gang raped and brutally attacked last month and later died in a hospital. Dalits — formerly known as “untouchables” — are victims of thousands of attacks each year. According to human rights organizations, Dalit women are particularly vulnerable to caste-based discrimination and sexual violence. (Photo by Altaf Qadri/AP Photo)
