Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Dalits are the people who are economically, politically and socially exploited and are forced to live as untouchables outside the village doing all the low level jobs offered to them by the privileged people of the society. They were not allowed to live a life with dignity they were treated as the suppressed class of Indian society. In Indian constitution the Dalits come under the category of „scheduled caste‟. The dominant caste created the rule in the form of religion and they considered themselves high and the sight, shadow, touch of the Dalits were considered as impure but the Dalit did all the odd works in their field, cleaned the household, brought firewood to cook, washed their clothes etc in spite of all these things the Brahmins considered them as untouchables. The life of a Dalit is always pitiful and they lack in the basic needs like food, shelter and clothes. The proposition of the paper will deal with the life of Dalits who lack the basic needs and dedicate their hard work by doing all the odd jobs for the Caste Hindus and gaining only injustice, inequality and poverty in return.
