6 years ago, Yogi Adityanath called Hanuman ji a Dalit during a rally. This had a polarising reception. Some people were outraged, while some were confused. So, was there any point in it? Or was it just a political stunt? The truth is that Hanuman ji’s caste is never mentioned explicitly. But there are hints for both arguments. For Dalit: - In many medieval South Indian arts, Hanuman ji is portrayed with a bell on his ankle or tail. Such bells were tied on Dalits so high caste people would know whenever a Dalit was nearby. For Brahmin: - Hanuman ji was a well-read scholar who could speak perfect Sanskrit—a language that was restricted to Brahmins only. - Many North Indian arts depict him wearing a janeu—a Brahmin characteristic.

Actually both group is misguided reality is that Hanuman is a devotee of Lord Shri Ram..and those who is devotees is beyond from this material designation mentioned in Bhagwad Gita.
