There is no full fledged study or even an anthology giving information about various SC movements in different parts of the country in colonial and post colonial period.The main issues around which most of the Dalit movements have been centered in the colonial and post colonial periods are confined to the problem of untouchability.They launched movements for maintaining or increasing reservations in political offices, government jobs and welfare programmes.
The Dalits demanded a separate electorate in the 1930s which led to a conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi. In the early 1930s Ambedkar concluded that the only way of improving the status of the untouchables was to renounce the Hindu religion. He found that Buddhism was appropriate as an alternative religion for the untouchables. He preferred Buddhism because it was an indigenous Indian religion of equality; a religion which was anti-caste and Anti Brahmin. Ambedkar and his followers were converted to Buddhism in 1956.The movement for conversion to Buddhism has spread dalit consciousness irrespective of whether dalits became Buddhist or not. The Dalits of Maharashtra launched the Dalit Panther Movement in the early 1970s.Initially it was confined to the urban areas of Maharashtra not it spread to Gujarat, Karnataka, AndhraPradesh, Uttar Pradesh and other states.

During the 1930s the Dalits sought a separate vote that contributed to a dispute between Ambedkar and Gandhi. In the early 1930s Ambedkar argued that renouncing the Hindu faith was the best way to boost the position of the intouchables.
Explanation:
- They initiated campaigns for elected positions, government employment and social services to retain or raise reservations.
- There is no full-fledged research or even an anthology that offers details on numerous SC movements in different parts of the world during the colonial and post-colonial times. The key problems affecting most of the Dalit movements in the colonial and post-colonial times remain limited to the question of intouchability.
