Dalit politics

Dalit politics refers to the political movements and initiatives aimed at addressing the social, economic, and political issues faced by Dalits, who are members of historically marginalized communities in India, often referred to as "untouchables." This movement seeks to empower Dalits by advocating for their rights, representation, and equality in society. Political parties, such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), focus on Dalit interests, while broader coalitions with other marginalized groups aim for systemic change. Dalit politics plays a crucial role in challenging traditional caste hierarchies and promoting social justice in India.
