The linguistic origin of the term Dalit is Marathi, and pre-dates
the militant-intellectual Dalit Panthers movement of the 1970s. It
was not in popular use till the last quarter of the 20th century,
the origin of the term Dalit, although in the 1930s, it was used as
Marathi-Hindi translation of the word "Depressed Classes". The
changing nature of caste and Dalits has become a topic of
increasing interest in India. This edited book is a collection of
originally written chapters by eminent experts on the experiences
of Dalits in India. It examines who constitute Dalits and engages
with the mainstream subaltern perspective that treats Dalits as a
political and economic category, a class phenomenon, and subsumes
homogeneity of the entire Dalit population. This book argues that
the socio-cultural deprivations of Dalits are their primary
deprivations, characterized by heterogeneity of their experiences.
It asserts that Dalits have a common urge to liberate from the
oppressive and exploitative social arrangement which has been the
guiding force of Dalit movement. This book has analysed this
movement through three phases: the reformative, the transformative
and the confrontationist. An exploration of dynamic relations
between subalternity, exclusion and social change, the book will be
of interest to academics in the field of sociology, political
science and contemporary India.
