The whole purpose of this power is to make sure that the norms of the society remain the same. In a graded society like India, where inequality is apparent because of the prevalent caste system, the idea of power is employed to keep a particular group of people, that is, Dalits, in control and subordination. Even among Dalits, Dalit women are harassed owing to their caste–gender intersection. With no power to exert or execute, Dalit women are the most vulnerable group in Indian society. Their bodies are severely scrutinized, and in a true Foucauldian fashion, they are regulated and accustomed to behaving submissively. They are being objectified by the upper-caste people and are harassed, raped, and violated in their day-to-day lives. The present paper looks at the challenges faced by Dalit women by analysing two works of Bama (2005, Sangati events) and Karukku. Delving into the concept of body, the present paper aims to highlight the objectification of Dalit women’s bodies by the men of upper caste and Dalit men and the subsequent resistance of Dalit women to this idea of objectification. The present article will explore how the Dalit women have changed their docile bodies into resistive bodies.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, at the socio-economic and political levels, she was rendered invisible. It was during the colonial phase of India’s historical trajectory that the gender question attained centre stage and serious efforts were undertaken to alleviate the situation of Indian women. This greater generalization of patriarchal controls and the pativrata ideals (Doniger & Smith, 1991, The laws of Manu, p. 198) throughout the caste hierarchy was a major factor in the increasing number of widows seen in the colonial period, and a gradually declining sex ratio, leaving India as one of the most patriarchal societies in the world when counting the number of ‘missing women’—an estimated 35-40 million women would have been alive were it not for the systematic discrimination (Dreze & Sen, 1995, India: Economic development and social opportunity, OUP Delhi). Nonetheless, the various debates on gender reforms either painted women as victims or heroines thereby denying them any agency.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diversity, Evenness and Inequality are examined by applying the indices Shannon-Weinner diversity, Buzas and Gibson evenness, and Theil inequality. We analysed census 2011 data comprising all graduates in the age group 20–24 years of age. Analysis of the Shannon diversity index affirms that not all the communities of SCs are equitably represented with education level graduation and above. The study illustrates that only a few communities with huge populations have education level attainment of graduates and above. Whereas the communities with smaller populations are underrepresented, and in some communities, the representation is nil. This corroborates the importance of identifying communities that are still underrepresented even after implementing affirmative action. The Shannon-winner index assessment indicates that the level of diversification across the communities within SCs of selected states does not differ. Further comparison of the quintessential value of and the perfect value of diversification by community’s attainment in education level graduates and above reveals discrepancy and was the highest in the state of Tamil Nadu, with a differing value of 2.5, and the least in the state of Punjab, with a value of 1.6. The first step of the investigation identified the least diversification, lack of evenness, and inequalities between the communities of SCs by representation in education level graduate and above in the selected states of India. Hence, prioritizing rarely represented communities needs immediate attention.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an attempt to highlight the situation of these marginalized groups using many factors that sociologists frequently use to assess the status of a class. Although depressed women’s literacy rates have grown from 41.9% in 2001 to 56.5% in 2011, there is still a long way to go before they reach the general category’s literacy rate of 64.6%. As a result, Dalit women continue to live in appalling circumstances. Regardless of the unfair terms and circumstances of employment, they are forced to work in poverty that compels them to toil irrespective of the unjust terms and conditions of employment. Even among the depressed castes, the men get precedence over any job. Discrimination and oppression are the most common words that can be used to describe the position of Dalit women. Weak physique and unhealthy living condition are other issues which, contributes to their misery, making them vulnerable to the competitive world. The words ‘violence’, ‘suffering’ and ‘agony’ seem synonymous with these women. Atrocities against Dalit women are only emphasized by caste standards. Hence, much awaits to be done to guarantee justice based on gender and ensure equality in all instances. They are true ‘The Depressed and Ostracized’.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article investigates their response to the prevailing caste system and religious conversion portrayed in the Chand. It also inspects the conception of untouchability by examining the role of caste associations and social institutions in colonial North India, shaping Dalit identity. The special issue of Chand Achhut Ank (May 1927) played a significant role in establishing a new cultural identity among Dalits within the broader framework of Hinduism by redefining the problem of untouchability. It is essential to analyse the social discourse on untouchability that brings consciousness among marginalized sections to comprehend their identity. It had generated anxiety and social distress among the educated middle class as was seen in their active engagement in Dalit literary discourse within the Hindi public sphere. Ultimately, it is necessary to comprehend the sociocultural reform movements aimed indirectly to maintain the existing social structure and how it resulted in the anxieties expressed by middle-class intellectuals in their writings. This work goes beyond by comprehensively examining various crucial facets of the farming Dalit identity.","PeriodicalId":53196,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Voice of Dalit","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135724656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
