Broken people : caste violence against India's "untouchables."
Material type:
TextPublication details: New York Human rights watch 1998Description: 291 pISBN: 9781564322289Subject(s): Political violence | Caste--Law and legislation | Dalits--Social conditions | Dalits--Civil rightsDDC classification: 323.1086940954 Summary: This report is about caste, but it is also about class, gender, poverty, labor, and land. For those at the bottom of its hierarchy, caste is a determinative factor for the attainment of social, political, civil, and economic rights. Most of the conflicts documented in this report take place within very narrow segments of the caste hierarchy, between the poor and the not-so-poor, the landless laborer and the small landowner. The differences lie in the considerable amount of leverage that the higher-caste Hindus or non-Dalits are able to wield over local police, district administrations, and even the state government.
