Spike in caste-based violence in India In India, there's been a spike in caste-based violence against Dalits, formerly known as untouchables. A New York Times article explores attacks against the country's poorest and most disadvantaged people. Jeffrey Gettleman, the newspaper's South Asia bureau chief, co-wrote the article, "‘Tell Everyone We Scalped You!’ How Caste Still Rules in India." He joined CBSN from New Delhi to explain the discrimination against Dalits.
