Abstract:

Women from Dalit community face multiple subalternity—that is, they are subaltern with various levels of subalternity (as Dalits, as poor and as women). Dalit women face systematic oppression, social exclusion, direct and structural violence within their own community as well as from ‘upper’ castes. Women from Dalit community in Bihar suffer the same trauma. However, Bihar government has taken many steps to empower Dalit women in the state. Several schemes have been floated which are primarily centred on monetary benefits to this section of population. More interestingly, reservation of Dalits

<em>It is Remarkable to note that Untouchability is one of the greatest evils our country has been facing from the time Immemorial. The Pathetic picture of the Untouchables who are deprived of gaining Knowledge, has no right to go to the temple, no liberty to listen to the Incantations of the Vedas or great Scriptures, deprived of the right of reading and studying the language Sanskrit, which is supposed to be the richest language of the world. So one of the causes of the degeneration of Sanskrit language is Untouchability and perhaps this is why many great personalities, have given a scathing

Abstract:

The Dalit identity is closely tied to the experience of oppression and discrimination that Dalits have faced for centuries in India. Despite laws and constitutional provisions aimed at eradicating caste-based discrimination, Dalits continue to face discrimination in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and access to public spaces. The Dalit identity is also closely linked to the struggle for social and political rights. Dalit activists and leaders have fought for greater representation in government and other institutions, as well as for greater social and economic empower

Empowerment is generally understood as raising people's present status by providing various means such as knowledge, skills, and resources.

International donors and the government working towards poverty alleviation have tended to give priority to Dalits because they are one of the poorest and most backward groups in Nepal.

One such scheme is the Vikas Mitras scheme, which aims to appoint people from the Mahadalit population to the lowest position in the bureaucracy, envisioning them to emerge as ‘change agents’.

Abstract:

The right to live a dignified life is one of the basic necessities of human beings. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, self-esteem and being respected takes almost the topmost position in a person’s psychological needs. Women’s suffragette, the civil movements for equality of AfricanAmerican’s and other such movements in history are a testament of the same. However, Indian history reeks of a dark past, a past that not only differentiated amongst people, but treated them worse than animals. The Indian society’s ‘Chaturvarna’ system placed the untouchables

Abstract:

Caste discrimination affects the health of Dalits beyond limited access to health services or wider determinants like education, employment, income, and housing. Kerala is a good example for this, despite social development changes in the state, caste still plays a significant psychological role in defining health and work for lower castes. However, psychological research often exhibited a strong conformity bias ending up in victim blaming by articulating lack of personal responsibility, ignoring Dalit efforts. Despite being labeled as apathetic, Dalits in Kerala have actively participated in

Abstract:

The performance of the folk paṟai frame drum of South India is a site of religious encounter that syncretizes symbols and practices from Hinduism, Christianity, Tamil agricultural life, and Dalit liberation movements. This essay analyzes three cases of religious syncretism and indigenization of Christianity to Tamil village culture that transform the meaning of this drum from polluted to a sonic tool of liberation against caste oppression.

Abstract:

Caste system, still widely prevalent in various spheres of Indian social life, perpetuates social, economic and educational deprivation amongst Dalits, leading to their marginalization and social exclusion. The article is based on an intervention to address caste-based discrimination that was resulting in abject poverty, malnutrition and hunger deaths among Dalits in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Health care staff such as ANMs and Anganwadi workers practice untouchability by not touching Dalits and consequently they could not access health care services and other general civic and pro-poor schemes

Abstract:

The new education policy introduced by the government has rolled out various programs aimed at uplifting the situation of women. While these initiatives are commendable, there is a glaring gap when it comes to addressing the unique challenges faced by Dalit women. These women, who belong to the most marginalized sections of society, are often left out of the broader discourse on women’s empowerment. The policies designed for their upliftment are few and far between, reflecting a systemic oversight. Even when such policies exist, Dalit women remain largely uninformed due to the lack of effectiv

Abstract:

Organizing grassroots groups, particularly among the deeply disadvantaged may require initial facilitation through a leader. This article suggests that such facilitative leadership will adopt a diffused form with increased participation and involvement of members in groups. Thereafter, members are less likely to rely on the facilitative leader for decision-making or collective action. Based on primary data from sanghas organized as grassroots groups through the Mahila Samakhya Karnataka (MSK) program in rural India, the article examines the effects of group characteristics; structure and leade

<strong>Abstract: </strong> The name "Musahar" carries multiple connotations. It not only represents a community historically stigmatized as rat-eaters but also encompasses those subjected to untouchability. Additionally, it signifies individuals involved in rearing pigs, characterized by landlessness and predominantly employed in physically demanding yet poorly compensated agricultural labour. These diverse aspects coalesce into the unified identity of the Musahar caste within the framework of the Hindu caste system. This composite identity plays a central role in sustaining the pre

Abstract:

The subject of women's political engagement has recently come to the forefront in democracies. The term "political participation" encompasses not only casting a ballot but also taking part in any and all political processes. Without women's equitable involvement, democracy would fail, despite the fact that they make up half of the global population. There have been many initiatives on a global and national scale to encourage more women to run for office. Women in India have the same legal protections as males, according to the country's constitution. In addition, local governments are required
