Dalit Politics
Dalit Politics refers to the political movements and activities aimed at addressing the social, economic, and political rights of the Dalit community in India. Historically marginalized and oppressed, Dalits have sought representation and empowerment through various political parties and organizations, advocating for affirmative action, land rights, and social justice.
The rise of Dalit leaders and parties, such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has significantly influenced Indian politics. These movements aim to challenge the caste system and promote equality, often forming alliances with other marginalized groups to strengthen their political voice and impact policy decisions at local and national levels.
