Valmiki caste
The Valmiki (also Balmiki) is a dalit community of India. They have historically faced exclusion and oppression in Indian society, and are frequently affected by anti-Dalit violence and repression by members of other castes.〔Narender Kumar, Manoj Rai. 2006. Dalit Leadership in Panchayats: A Comparative Study of Four States. Rawat Publications〕
Following the example of B. R. Ambedkar, the Valmiki have turned away from Hinduism in order to avoid the persecution associated with Hindu caste practices. Some Valmikis claim that they descend from the author Valmiki who is sometimes credited with having written the ''Ramayana'', although others claim that the currently known version of ''Ramayana'' is a distortion of the original work made by Brahmins.〔
, the Valmikis formed 11.2 per cent of the Scheduled Caste population in Punjab and were the second-most populous Scheduled Caste in Delhi, where they were recorded as "Chuhra (Balmiki)". In Punjab, Chuhras who follow Hinduism are known as Valmikis.〔Leslie, J.(2003) Authority and Meaning in Indian Religions: Hinduism and the Case of Valmiki. Ashgate publishing. ISBN 0754634302〕
In the UK, the Council of Valmiki Sabhas UK claims to represent the Valmiki.〔Stephen Jacobs. 2010. Hinduism Today: An Introduction. A&C Black, Jun 24, 2011〕〔 〕
