The Dalits are the poorest and most marginalised group in Indian society. But the arrival of Christian missionaries gave them new hope. By converting to Christianity, they hoped to escape a lifetime of persecution. "The Hindus treat us like animals," says one converted Christian. "Life is better as a Christian."

But with so few options available to Dalits, it seems unlikely that government legislation will slash the conversion rate.
