Kastin haavat: Parantuminen epäoikeudenmukaisuudesta

Though officially banned, caste discrimination continues to shape daily life for millions in India. Dalits—often called “the broken people”—still face routine exclusion from jobs, education, and
even wells or temples. Many live in segregated villages. Some children are forced to clean toilets in schools while others are praised for their lineage.

In 2023, over 50,000 cases of caste-based violence were reported. Behind each number is a story—like a 15-year-old Dalit girl in Patna, Bihar, assaulted for entering a temple, or a man in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh beaten for walking through an upper-caste neighborhood.

But Jesus dismantled social hierarchies when He touched lepers, welcomed outcasts, and elevated the unseen. His healing is not only for individuals but for entire systems of injustice.

God HEALS.

Caste may divide people outwardly, but persecution strikes at the very core of faith. For those who follow Christ—especially Hindu Background Believers—the cost of discipleship can be severe. Let us now lift up those who are wounded simply for choosing Jesus…

How Can We

PRAY?

Pray for healing and dignity for Dalits and all oppressed by caste. Ask that they would know their identity in Christ as beloved sons and daughters.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

Intercede for churches to reject casteism in practice and to reflect the radical equality of the Gospel.

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile… for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28
