The exploitation of Dalits in one form or the other, is a glaring phenomenon since the dawn of civilization. In fact the upper class did not wish them to alleviate their heads and improve their social status. However, the problems of exploitation and atrocities clinged to their societal fabric. The theme has been well-weaved into sixteen chapters along with three Appendices. The main thrust of the theme is on general condition of Dalits at all-India level, socio-economic, religious and political exploitation in urban and rural areas. The volume will be useful for social scientists, teachers, and students in India and abroad.
