India‘s economic growth has brought opportunities for many but to what extent has it benefitted its ethnically-shaped underclass: the Dalits? Have Dalits fared better in a neoliberal India or have structural economic and social changes served to magnify Dalit disadvantage? This volume offers a varied picture of Dalit experience in different states
This volume deals with the mobility and marginalisation experienced by Dalits in India. It highlights the contradictions and disjunctures they face, resulting in simultaneous improvement and deterioration of their status in society. It discusses their rise and progress along with continuing exploitation and oppression, as well as their polarisation in terms of class, education, economic position, caste, identity, and political interests.
