Dalits In India

Dalits In India...........Dalits or the downtrodden are the weakest among the weaker sections of our society. For thousands of years, their condition has been unchanged, to a great extent, despite  all progress and development at various levels. In our social fabric, for centuries, the caste identities have surfaced as an important force in contemporary politics. These inequalities and exploitation by the society at large, encouraged by our ancient caste system, need to be eradicated. This thought has stimulated fresh thinking in academic circles on the  question of the essence of caste. Inspite of various theories  and different views on Dalits or the Scheduled  Castes, as this group is termed as constitutionally, it is an agreed point that this neglected lot in our society deserves  genuine attention and concern of politicians and intellectuals.
