Kallar rights movements
The Kallar rights movements are efforts by the Kallar community in India and Sri Lanka to preserve their cultural identity, secure land rights, and achieve social recognition. Historically marginalized, they have sought fair treatment under the law and societal respect, advocating for political representation, educational opportunities, and protection of their traditional land holdings. These movements reflect the community’s desire for equality, cultural preservation, and socio-economic development within the broader socio-political context of the regions they inhabit.
