Dalit Empowerment in India: Dalits movement for empowerment started way back during second half of the nineteenth century with reformatory efforts to uplift the backward groups of Indian society‚ especially ‘Dalits’.

The Good Samaritan Beatitude means “blessing” or “promise” of true happiness. They are stepping stones on the path to the kingdom of heaven.

They were both Jewish and not Jewish and had a very unique religion‚ which caused them to be hated by the Jews. The Samaritans were also used in one of Jesus’ parables along with the Jews to teach a lesson on who is your neighbor and how you should love and be kind to them.
