DESCRIPTION |
|
| We are in a new world now. Over the last millennium, the humanity has witnessed many a change and revolutions. In our country, a sea-change has taken place over the centuries. Societies have come up and vanished. Apart from political developments, new social culture has emerged and overtaken the old one. Our nation has developed in all fields; political, social, cultural, economic, academic and scientific, to name a few. But to everyone’s concern, an unfortunate section of our civilised society has lagged behind. This deprived lot, termed as Dalits has been forced to live under inhuman conditions, a shocking fact to know. No doubt, over the decades, much has been done for the upliftment of Dalits at social and governmental level, still a lot needs to be done. Infact, only a major and effective social change can deliver the results and mere legislations are not enough. However, in post-independence India, various popular governments have taken steps for the emancipation and empowerment of the most backward people in the social fabric, who are termed as scheduled castes in our official terminology. The Dalit movement in India has come a long way, downtrodden and weak have begun to awaken now, which is a good and a positive signal. Present voluminous work is the result of painstaking and toilsome research and hard work by the authors, spread over several years. These volumes virtually covers all the practical issues, problems and the solutions, concerning the Dalits. In seven covers, there is a treasure of knowledge and insight on the subject. |
