Title A name given to the resource Anti-caste Movement and Rise of Dalit Womens Voices from South Asia Description An account of the resource There have been cohesive attempts at forging alliance through the sustained efforts of emergent Dalit Civil society network, Dalit academicians and the renaissance of Ambedkarite thought among the Dalit youth around the question of political representation and social justice. This has led to a renewed and greater visibility of caste-based social relations and interactions in the present millennium, which was otherwise, treated as a long-forgotten age-old tradition. The lived experiences of exclusion and atrocities faced by members of the Dalit community especially the violence against women and girls reflect the grim reality of the prevalent casteist and patriarchal society. In this background, the emergence of Dalit Womens collectives raising their voices not just on caste but also on the intersectionality of gender provides a new dimension of analysis based on the critical race theory. Thereby, the attempt has been on forging an alliance and building collective voices. The chapter seeks to highlight the numerous struggles and triumphs along the way made by Dalit Women (also with building alliances with Black Womanists and Feminists Movement) in challenging the way in which feminists discourses have been held leading to rethinking and reimagining womens collectives by way of building solidarities, recognizing the difference of experience and positioning in caste and gender ladder that have influenced access to resources, rights, political representation and decision-making power from the local governance to national level.
