		<description>Shantanudutta's analisys on Mariya, dalit christian woman short  story says the facts of the indian caste system. though dalits changes their reliogion, the discrimination will shadow. Indian Cristianity is also masked with the socalled caste system, so, the discrimination is haunting the dalits, especially the dalith women. Capainjohann has mistaken in under standing the indian christianity, it has built on the basement of the manudharma. Thats why the converted dalits are called 'dalit' christians</description>

		<description>Maria, dalit christian woman ,the short story shows more the prejudice of the author .The author tries to show the pitiable condition of dalit HINDU woman into a dalit CHRISTIAN  woman.there is no caste in christianity.hinduism exists on varnashramdharma and Manus caste system.But if a woman is called Dalit cHRISTIAN, the fault lies with church of south india but not Indian society.
  How come a woman continues to be called a Dalit christian?many of the low caste dalits convert to christianity and find the church is also ill treating them instead of giving them proper english education.It gives them seperate communion,seperate burial grounds and dalits find that their conversion has not done them any good in terms fo social uplift.Dalits who converted to christianity must focus on education.
  Dalit christians are defenitely better off than their hindu dalit bretheren inspite of these practises.But insttead of reforming the church practises the dalit christians are instigated to ask for reservation on the basis of CASTE given by constitution.They are not entitled to it but they demand concession as a minority as well as a dalit!!!
  Dalit christians must focus on REFORMING THE CHURCH instead asking for reservation given to dalit hindus.</description>
