Beschreibung
This book investigates the widespread and persistent human rights violations against Dalits in India, with a focus on the erstwhile central Bihar from 1977 to the present day. Drawing on historical data, field interviews, judicial records, and human rights reports, the book presents a searing account of caste carnages, institutional failures, and the lived realities of marginalization and resistance. Key themes include the role of radical groups and civil society in raising awareness, the complicity and neglect of state institutions, and the urgent need for constitutional accountability and social reform. By weaving together theory, field research, and international human rights frameworks, this book uniquely situates Dalit rights within both Indian and global contexts.
This book is a valuable resource on Dalit human rights, ideal for researchers, students, and general readers. It serves as a reference for courses in human rights, social exclusion, anthropology, political science, sociology, and South Asian studies and is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate reading lists.
