About The Book

Where is Dalit legislative issues heading in India today? Dalits appear to have come a full hover from the motivation of "destruction of station" to "secularization of standing," and change from Hinduism to effectively asserting the Hindu character, as is obvious from the spate of mutual mobs in Uttar Pradesh in the most recent couple of months which have been essentially amongst Dalits and Muslims. The flow in provincial Dalit governmental issues appears to have moved from testing the upper ranks to discovering acknowledgment and turning into a part of the majoritarian country that is under development. Portability by picking up acknowledgment looks much more substantial and achievable than the conceptual and rather Utopian thought of destroying position. Dalit identity is itself internally fractured as the issue of conflicting interests, including the practice of untouchability between various Dalit sub castes, is coming to the fore and gaining political articulation. There is little that can hold the identity together, as was the case in the past. Further, the sustained mobilisation of Dalits by political parties, such as the Congress in the past, for various historical and sociological reasons, had benefited certain Dalit sub castes. This book will definitely prove to be a boon to teachers, students and research scholars.
