Today, overt discrimination has largely disappeared in urban areas, but in rural regions Dalits often remain excluded from social and religious life, although here too prejudice seems to be declining (Somini (29 August 2008).)
In short, Dalits have made huge strides in the Indian system ever since the modern constitution forbade their discrimination. By 1995, for instance, 17.2% of jobs were held by Dalits whilst Dalits too held 10% of the highest paying jobs in the Indian government. In 1997, a Dalit, K.R.

Violence against hijras remains common not only in domestic and public spaces but also amongst officials, such as police and jail. Common to transgender people anywhere in the world, hijra face discrimination in profession that is unable to 'slot' them into any particular gender role. These include health, housing, education, employment, immigration, and law (Nanda, 1996).
Although most hijras have to resort to begging for survival, some of them still find lucrative business through their being employed to bestow blessings and predictions on wealthy individuals. Many Indians think that hijras bring good luck and fertility...
