  • Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Dalits' Political Leadership in India
    Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies, Online ISSN 2278-8808, SJIF 2016 = 6.17, www.srjis.com UGC Approved Sr. No.49366, JAN–FEB, 2018, VOL- 5/43 DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR AND DALITS’ POLITICAL LEADERSHIP IN INDIA Manish Kumar Assistant Professor, Swami Shraddhanand College, University of Delhi Email [email protected] Abstract In the political history of Dalit leadership the role of Dr. Ambedkar has always been acknowledged as leader of Dalit in every spheres of their life. The leadership of Dr. Amberdkar has strengthen in emergence of Dalit political leadership with completely new dimension of socio – political consciousness among the Dalits and equipped with this consciousness within the Dalit leadership. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was the first major leader of the Dalits who rose to the height of logical articulation and materialization of their socio – political aspirations and interests of larger Dalit community in India. It is not very difficult to find at what stage the idea of protest takes shape in the mind of an individual. It is yet relatively easy to say when that idea of protest gets crystallized in some form of social action. From this standpoint, the year 1919 seems important in trading the historical beginning of the Dr. Ambedkar’s movement, because he appeared on the political scene for the first time in the year 1919, when he was called to testify to the Southborough Committee. More generally, it is now clear that there can be no single political strategy for Dalits throughout India. The common political objective of Dalits is to strengthen their collective power and build Dalits leadership in electoral political system of the country.

  • Dalit Perspectives in Mainstream Indian Writings
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 Dalit Perspectives in Mainstream Indian Writings Dr.D.Jaisankar Associate Professor Department of English Academy of Maritime Education and Training (Deemed to be University) Kanathur, Chennai – 603112. Abstract The academic interest in Dalit Studies is a continuation of the debate on marginality within Postcolonial Studies. The technological developments and globalisation have also helped the growth of Dalit Studies at the global level. Despite this rousing reception, India had to witness the bloody Khairlanji massacre in 2006 and the suicide of the Dalit student, Rohith Vemula in 2016. This demands an understanding of the reception of Dalit Studies on Indian civil society. It is with this perspective that this Paper attempts to find the Dalit perspectives in mainstream Indian novels. This impact can be found on various cultural spheres of Indian creative works. Keywords: Dalit, Indian Novels, Mainstream, Marginality, Postcolonial Studies Introduction The idea of perception with its thrust on the role of the reader has broadened the scope of Comparative Literature. It serves two purposes: firstly, it moves away from the dominance of the influencing agent and turns towards the reader as an active receiver; secondly, the focus on differences in perception of texts in different contexts accommodates diverse aspects of culture. Studies on ‘influence’ are limited to the influence of literature, theoretical concepts and literary movements. In the context of the rise of Dalit Literature and politics, Dalit characters are included in the mainstream creative works. This paper argues that the inclusion of Dalit characters in contemporary literary and media representations shows not just the reception of Dalit politics but is a response to the Dalit uprising that took place in the 1990s, and its global visibility in 2001 following the World Conference against Racism (WCAR) in Durban.

  • Caste Discrimination Against India's “Untouchables”
    Hidden Apartheid was produced as a “shadow report” to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), in advance of its February 2007 consideration of a report by the government of India. CERD is a body of independent experts responsible for monitoring states’ compliance with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. India ratified the Convention in 1968. The Convention guarantees rights of non-discrimination on the basis of “race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin.” In 1996, CERD concluded that the plight of Dalits falls squarely under the prohibition of descent-based discrimination. As a state party to the Convention, India is obliged to submit periodic reports detailing its implementation of rights guaranteed under the Convention. During the review session CERD examines these reports and engages in constructive dialogue with the state party, addressing its concerns and offering recommendations in the form of “Concluding Observations.” As part of this process, CERD uses supplementary or alternative information contained in non-governmental organization “shadow reports” to effectively evaluate states’ reports. The India report being considered by CERD in February 2007 (the report was more than eight years overdue when it was submitted) covers more than a decade of India’s compliance with the Convention (from 1996 to 2006) yet does not contain a single mention of abuses against Dalits—abuses that India’s own governmental agencies have documented and verified. This report fills that gap and presents CERD members with information that we believe is essential to a fair assessment of India’s record and, ultimately, to encouraging the government to live up to its treaty obligations.
