Dalit And Backward Women Fear And Discrimination [EPUB ebook] 

The difficult lives of Dalit women are perhaps best revealed by studying the social, economic, educational, health and political conditions of Dalit women. India has celebrated its 62th year of Independence. The country is now recording 2-digit economic growth every year and successfully takes quite an important and dominant position in international politics and in the economic arena. The success of India is built up with the international reputation of well-educated human resources, democratic and stabled political circumstances, and promises of land, benefits and other resources to the foreign and national investors-which are all based on exploitation of Dalit women. The history of the Dalits in India, of course, began around 1500 BC (3500 years ago) when finally the already settled people, the people of the Indus cities were defeated and forced by newcomers, people known as Aryans, to loose all their privileges and become dasa (slaves) of the conquerers. They are the very dasa, who taday have decided to address themselves as Dalits, have reached to their present state, according to Bishop Pickett by centuries of exploitation and servility .The book includes views of various communities on the status change of these people. The book is to tremendous use to students, teachers, social organisations and general readers
