More than 430 Hindu Dalits (untouchables) convert/revert to Islam in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, more conversions are underway as reported says. This news has been reported by one of India's top reading News site(indiatoday.in).
Illavenil, the state secretary of the state of Tamil Nadu Puligai Katchi, told that legally 430 Dalit Hindus have converted to Islam because of Islam's justice to all its believers and equality.
This conversion from Hindusim to Islam of these Dalit peoples is due to the most- tragic incident in Mettupalayam, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Where due to a wall collapse, about 17 Dalits die and close to 3,000 people (Dalits) from the community announced that they were to convert to Islam, because they were not getting any type of Justice and Payments for Damages and loss of lives (compensation to the families, life insurance, LIC), etc, because they belong from a religion which gives justice on the basis of high born and low born and hence they were all the untouchables (The Dalits), so, heard of Islam justice and equality among all its believers these people were ready to convert to Islam anytime and they did so.
Muhammad Abu Bakr, originally known as Marx, converted to Islam after the wall collapse on 2 December 2019. HE told the reason why they converted to Islam " We converted to Islam because of the prevailing caste system and injustice and off course due to the untouchability, he told, for example, we Dalits can't enter into the temple of Goddess Durga even to pray, people around the corner see us with angry eyes, even tea sellers don't allow us to have tea at their shops, we can't travel with people in governmental buses, said Muhammad Abu Bakr (Newly converted Dalit).
Dalits said in Hinduism we were not being treated even like HUMANS and when a tragic wall collapsed killed our 17 people, no Hindu voice was raised to get us justice and compensation, They were our Muslim brothers who raised their voices and stood up for us and protest for us against the government, hence after watching and observing their solidarity and equality we decided to become Muslims, not Dalit Muslims, or Brahmin, but only a Muslims, this is the beauty of the religion of Islam.
