=== Dalit === {{Main|Dalit theology}} Dalit theology is a branch of Christian [[theology]] that emerged among the Dalit castes in the [[Indian subcontinent]] in the 1980s. It shares a number of themes with [[Latin American liberation theology]], which arose two decades earlier, including a self-identity as a people undergoing [[Exile|Exodus]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Rao|first=Anand|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54973643|title=Soteriologies of India and their role in the perception of disability : a comparative transdisciplinary overview with reference to Hinduism and Christianity in India|publisher=LIT Verlag|year=2004|isbn=3-8258-7205-X|location=Berlin-Hamburg-Münster|pages=232|oclc=54973643|access-date=May 25, 2021|archive-date=June 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220614165240/https://www.worldcat.org/title/soteriologies-of-india-and-their-role-in-the-perception-of-disability-a-comparative-transdisciplinary-overview-with-reference-to-hinduism-and-christianity-in-india/oclc/54973643|url-status=live}}</ref> Dalit theology sees hope in the "Nazareth Manifesto" of Luke 4,<ref>{{Bibleverse|Luke|4|NIV}}</ref> where [[Jesus]] speaks of preaching "good news to the poor ... freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind" and of releasing "the oppressed".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Schouten|first=Jan Peter|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/302001445|title=Jesus as guru : the image of Christ among Hindus and Christians in India|publisher=Rodopi|year=2008|isbn=978-1-4356-9523-8|location=Amsterdam|pages=247|oclc=302001445|access-date=May 25, 2021|archive-date=June 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220614165242/https://www.worldcat.org/title/jesus-as-guru-the-image-of-christ-among-hindus-and-christians-in-india/oclc/302001445|url-status=live}}</ref>
