Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The awakening of the lower caste for the emergence of the idea of liberty, social justice, and equality ignited the Dalits to begin the Dalit movements in India it is a collective agitation against the caste, creed, cultural and social exploitation to fight against the atrocities upon them from the age old tradition of Hinduism to get a new self image and new identity. Education plays a key role in the development for the empowerment of the Dalits. It is through education the Dalits were able to voice out against the atrocities and discrimination which the caste Hindus imposed on them. The Dalits were not able to fight with the higher caste people instead they used the pen as sword to question the ideologies imposed on them. Education has played a vital role in the development of the Dalits and it was through education the real emancipation of the Dalits began in India. It broke the chains of caste and social exclusion. The proposition of the paper will deal with the how the education has paved way for the development of the Dalits and what are the changes that took place in the life of the marginalized people after gaining education.
