Dalit Rights

Dalit rights refer to the social, economic, and political rights of Dalits, historically marginalized communities in India, formerly referred to as "untouchables." These communities face discrimination and exclusion based on caste. Dalit rights advocate for equality, access to education, employment opportunities, and protection from discrimination and violence. Legal frameworks, like the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, aim to safeguard these rights. The movement seeks to empower Dalits to achieve social justice and integrate fully into society, promoting human dignity and equality for all.
