Dalit leaders are individuals who represent and advocate for the rights and interests of the Dalit community in India. Historically marginalized and discriminated against, Dalits belong to the lowest caste in the traditional Indian caste system. These leaders work to promote social justice, equality, and empowerment for their community, often addressing issues such as poverty, education, and access to resources. Many Dalit leaders have emerged as influential figures in Indian politics and social movements. Notable examples include B.R. Ambedkar, a key architect of the Indian Constitution, and Mayawati, a prominent political leader. Through their efforts, they aim to challenge caste-based discrimination and uplift the Dalit community.
