About The Book: The exploitation of Dalit in one form or the other, is a glaring phenomenon since the dawn of civilization. In fact the upper class did not wish them to alleviate their heads and improve their social status. However, the problems of exploitation and atrocities clinged to their societal fabric. The theme has been wellweaved into sixteen chapters along with three Appendices. The main thrust of the theme is no general condition of Dalits at allIndia level, socioeconomic, religious and political exploitation in urban and rural areas. The volume will be useful for social scientists, teachers, and students in India and abroad.
