There is something more important than economy and that is social justice, which is still an issue for the dalits. Sure India has grown economically, but that economic prosperity is not shared equally across all. Some benefitted a lot and others not at all.
I am one of the privileged classes living in India and the treatment of Dalits still shocks me. And they rarely make the news. This, I strongly believe, will only change through a revolution. What worries me is that the revolution is going to be really bloody.
Edit: I would love for Dalits to have BLM movement of their own. But that always follows from a tragedy so big that the systemic issues behind that can no longer be ignored. Sad part is such a tragedy is inevitable in the status quo.
