The organization was launched in 1999. The organization employed a number of authors for several years to develop articles for the dalitstan website. The web-site was widely promoted using the web groups. Several web-sites were created to mirror the selected contents of dalitstan. The dalistan became a widely quoted web-site.

The causes promoted by the dalistan organization include these independent nations [1]:

  1. Sakastan: The Jat homeland [2]
  2. Dalitstan: The Dalit homeland
  3. Mughalstan: The Muslim homeland [3]
  4. Khalistan: The Sikh homeland

Involvement in USA Legislations

The dalitstan website included a draft letter to be sent to congressmen in USA at G o o g l e's cache of http://www.dalitstan.org/sol/congress.html that requests:


May 06, 2000 
Honorable ABC 
999th District 
Any Town, ZZ 99999 


Dear Sir/Madam: 

It is with much pleasure that I write to you on behalf of the 
disadvantaged in India. I am writing to you as the President 
of Dalitstan, a non-profit organization founded about a year ago 
with the objective of helping the disadvantaged populations in 
India. Since its founding, Dalitstan has been educating the American 
public primarily through the Internet on issues relating to religious 
liberty and oppression in India. ... I would like to request your 
support in influencing U.S. policy toward India in a way that 
acknowledges the atrocities inflicted on minority groups in that 
country. For your convenience, our web site, http://dalitstan.org, 
contains up to date information on the evils inflicted against 
Christians and other minority religions in the predominantly Hindu 
country. Please permit me to comment briefly on a few issues. 

Three issues have surfaced as primary areas of concern as we have 
become more informed about the religious injustices practiced in India. ..
 
....
Honorable Congressman, I am confident that you will provide your 
support in promoting legislation that accounts for the adversities 
facing minority groups in India. I look forward to communicating 
with you further on this issue and hope that your support will 
bring relief to multiplied millions in India. 

Sincerely, 

Helen Heklund 
President, Dalitstan
