The term Dalit Christian (sometimes Christian Dalit) is used to describe those Christians who have converted to Christianity from Hinduism and are categorized as Dalits in Hindu, Christian and Islamic societies in India and Pakistan. Hindu Dalits are referred to as "Harijans" while the Islamic Dalits are categorised as "Muhajir." or "Arzal". Such people on conversion lose the privileges they were getting as a backward caste. This is a controversial issue in India.
