"Indian Dalit Ethnography" Research on the Dalit population in India through ethnographic studies is an important and vibrant area of study. The book contributes to the understanding of the lives, struggles, customs, and social dynamics of Dalit groups, emphasising their fortitude and tenacity in the face of systemic discrimination and marginalisation that is frequently based on caste. The impact of caste hierarchies on social relations both inside Dalit communities and between Dalits and other caste groups is a topic of discussion in social structure and caste dynamics. Through an examination of rituals, festivals, and customs specific to Dalit communities, ethnography highlights how these practices uphold cultural norms and promote identity. The book provides a thorough explanation of the professional responsibilities, financial difficulties, and coping mechanisms faced by Dalit people and communities. The political activism of Dalits, their participation in democratic processes, and their fight for recognition and rights are the main subjects of ethnography. Ethnography focuses on Dalit women in particular, examining topics of gender violence, empowerment, and resistance, given the connection of caste and gender.
