Mr. Baiju George:

That is a very important question which I ignored. The caste system is a big issue in India at present. The people in the lower caste are being targeted by the higher caste people, including with regard to being given water. If there is a well or bore well in an area where there are higher caste people and if lower caste people take water from the well, they are being killed for doing so. In a recent case, a husband and wife were paraded naked on the streets because they took water from a higher caste people's area. That is one area where people are being targeted in persecutions against lower caste people. That is definitely happening.

I wish to make a further correction. When I was talking about the anti-conversion Bill, I mentioned that eight states have already passed it. It was not eight states but seven states. I apologise for that.
