Dalits have been oppressed, crushed and broken down the centuries. Now they have begun to assert their identity as a people accepting their brokenness. They have been oppressed and broken historically due to the inhuman and oppressed ideology of the Brahmins. They have decided to liberate themselves from the caste-class nexus of oppression. They have decided to establish a society of justice, equality and fraternity in order to establish a new social order.Dalit oppression has been a shameful and dehumanizing reality that have been on for a long time down the history of the Indian civilization.
