Why the Dalit Movement still matters | Explained in English

Within the last ten years more than 22 Dalits have lost their lives to caste based discrimination. 8 people have been killed, only in the last six months, because they were Dalits. Most of them still haven't received justice. The non physical forms of discrimination that happen in everyday lives such as insult, verbal abuse and mistreatment don't even get reported. Article 24 of the Constitution of Nepal has institutionalized the right against untouchability and discrimination as a fundamental right. It states that "any act of untouchability and discrimination in any form shall be punishable by law as a severe social offence, and the victim of such act shall have the right to obtain compensation". Why then, is caste based discrimination and violence still so prevalent in our society? Even after years and years of struggle, why is the Dalit movement still going on?
