What is the social status of a person converted to Christianity who is considered as a Scheduled Caste Hindu Dalit earlier? Can he hold the SC status still after conversion to Christianity?

A.Hello sir,
Centre had argued that the religions allowed to be included as SCs were branches or off-shoots of Hinduism and Dalits who converted to Islam or Christianity “ameliorated their social status” by way of their conversion and “cannot claim to be backward” since untouchability is a feature of Hindu religion and its branches alone.
Thank you
