the first people converted by jesuits of the madura mission to christianity were members of nadars, maravars and pallar . caste based occupations held by dalits also show a clear segregation which perpetuated even after becoming christian. occupational patterns (including manual scavenging) are prevalent among dalit christians in north-west india are quite similar to that of dalit hindus. occupational discrimination for dalit christians goes so far as to restrict not only employment but also clean sanitation and water. inter caste marriage among christians is also not commonly practiced. for example, syrian christians in kerala do not marry dalit christians. even intermarriage between bamons and sudras in goa is quite uncommon. sometimes marriage to a higher class hindu is preferred to marriage to a dalit christian. discrimination against dalit christians also remained in interactions and mannerisms between castes for example ‘lower caste christians’ had to close their mouth when talking to a syrian christian. even after conversion segregation, restriction, hierarchy and graded ritual purity remained. data shows that there is more discrimination and less class mobility in rural areas.
