India's over 200 million Dalits, once called "untouchables," have
been mobilized by social movements and political parties, but the
outcomes of this mobilization are puzzling. Dalits' ethnic parties
have performed poorly in elections in states where movements
demanding social equality have been strong while they have
succeeded in states where such movements have been entirely absent
or weak. In Mobilizing the Marginalized, Amit Ahuja demonstrates
that the collective action of marginalized groups-those that are
historically stigmatized and disproportionately poor - is distinct.
Drawing on extensive original research conducted across four of
India's largest states, he shows, for the marginalized, social
mobilization undermines the bloc voting their ethnic parties' rely
on for electoral triumph and increases multi-ethnic political
parties' competition for marginalized votes. He presents evidence
showing that a marginalized group gains more from participating in
a social movement and dividing support among parties than from
voting as a bloc for an ethnic party.
