Asking residents about crimes and atrocities has the similar meaning anywhere. If you ask dalits , they can also say a lot of stories about upper caste atrocities on them all over India. There may be any number of books on that as well. Committing atrocities in human beings is not a reserved entity for a particular religion.

You are right, Christians did commit many atrocities.
What the heck is an upper caste ?, some guy few decades ago drafts a schedule and puts Jati's/ Clans randomly into categories as upper / lower caste. Many people considered upper caste as Francois Gautier the French Christian Journalist pointed out have a higher poverty rate than many so called lower caste. Many of the atrocities commited on Dalits are commited by other local ethnic groups or other Dalits. What do local ethnic tensions have to do with Hinduism ?
Your Indian Christian buddies have 2 lines to enter a church depending on caste. Ever tried to fix that ?
The word caste is actually from your friends the Portuguese, it refers to the racial hybrid hierarchy that they created in Latin America. Here is a good website in case you are interested:
