Dalit Democratic Movement for Alternative State

Více o knize

Focusing on identity and social justice, the Dalit movements are primarily led by the middle class, challenging issues like untouchability and discrimination. Their activism has brought Dalit concerns into mainstream political discourse, prompting critical reassessment of Indian traditions and modernity among intellectuals. Additionally, these movements have debunked numerous myths perpetuated by Brahminical ideologies and exerted significant pressure on ruling classes. However, some scholars argue that Dalits risk being marginalized as merely a pressure group in the political landscape.
