India is burning in protest after the unfortunate death of the Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula. His death brought new voices into an age-old debate on caste discrimination and how it is a parasite that is eating up our society and we are doing nothing about it.

Here’s a Letter to India from a Dalit woman questioning the very basis of discrimination.

Audi India is proud to be a part of India’s progressive growth and salutes the spirit of India.
