Question

What were the dalits ignore by the congress for a long time

Answer 1

Dalits were ignored by the Congress for a long duration due to their inner fear of offending the upper-caste Hindus or Sanatanis.

Explanation:

• Indian national congress was formed in 1885 but they never paid attention to the issues regarding the marginalization or exploitation of lower-caste people who were also called 'Dalits' or 'untouchables.'
• They kept ignoring them due to their fear of not hurting the upper-caste Hindus as they formed the majority of Congress's supporters.
• Gandhiji brought this issue into the highlight and demanded justice for them. He said Indians cannot attain 'Swaraj' for another century if they don't abolish it. He gave them the name 'Harijans' and fought for their equal rights and dignity in society.
