Anti-caste Movement

The Anti-Caste Movement in India seeks to challenge and dismantle the social hierarchy based on the caste system, which has historically marginalized certain groups, particularly Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables"). Rooted in social reform, the movement advocates for equality, justice, and rights for all individuals, regardless of caste. Prominent figures like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar emphasized education and political empowerment as essential tools for social change. The movement has played a crucial role in promoting awareness, legal protections, and social acceptance, striving to create a more equitable society.
