Dalitica provides you an insight into the mind of the thinking Glossary Link Dalit and delves into the issues not normally raised by most other Dalit sites.

 

The slant may be slightly academic but this is deliberate on our part as we do believe that most of what is on this site would be accepted by the world's scholarly community, or at least by most scholars belonging to the fair minded category.

Micropedia Dalitica is written with a view to providing Dalits with a very brief and an accurate analysis of the most important issues facing them. These issues may be historic or current, social or political. 

We have provided references so that visitors who are interested in reading about the subject matter in greater details may be able to do so. 

An endeavour such as this one is likely to face a great deal of challenges and problems. Please bear with us and give us time, visit us on a regular basis. Soon we will be inviting your valuable comments and feedback.

Caste based on authoritarianism and political power

The root of untouchability is the caste system; the root of the caste system is the religion attached to varna and ashram and the root of varnashram is Brahminical religion; and the root of Brahmnical religion is authoritarianism or political power.
