Dalit Rights Movement

The Dalit Rights Movement advocates for the social, political, and economic equality of Dalits, historically marginalized communities in India formerly known as "Untouchables." It seeks to eliminate discrimination, secure constitutional protections, and ensure access to education, employment, and public spaces. The movement emerged in response to centuries of caste-based oppression, aiming to empower Dalits, raise awareness about their rights, and promote social justice through activism, legal reforms, and policy changes. Its goal is to create a society where all individuals, regardless of caste background, are treated with dignity and equality.
