life of dalits in india before the constitution was formed and the current time
Answers
Answer:
Dalits are very often exposed to violence. The latest report by National Crime Records Bureau in 2000, reports 25,455 crimes against Dalits for the year, 2 Dalits assaulted every hour, 3 Dalit women raped every day, 2 Dalits murdered and 2 Dalit homes are set on fire every day. Many crimes go unreported.
The term dalits was in use as a translation for the British Raj census classification of Depressed Classes prior to 1935. It was popularised by the economist and reformer B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956), who included all depressed people irrespective of their caste into the definition of Dalits.
The movement was launched in 1956 by Ambedkar when nearly half a million Dalits – formerly untouchables – joined him and converted to Navayana Buddhism. It rejected Hinduism, challenged the caste system in India and promoted the rights of the Dalit community.
The most well-known Dalit leader was Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (1891-1956), who represented the community during the colonial era and later acted as the chief architect of the Indian Constitution.
