  • Abstract:
  • The social mobilisation of Dalits represents a critical aspect of the broader struggle for social justice and equality. Historically subjected to systemic discrimination and marginalisation under the caste hierarchy, Dalits have increasingly engaged in collective action to challenge their socio-economic and political subjugation. This mobilisation has taken diverse forms—ranging from grassroots activism and mass movements to engagement with electoral politics and the assertion of cultural identity. Landmark movements such as the Dalit Panthers, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and various Ambedkarite initiatives have played pivotal roles in reshaping the discourse on caste and equality. This abstract explores the evolution, strategies, and impact of Dalit social mobilisation, highlighting the role of Guru Ravidass Deras/shrines in reshaping the socio-cultural and religious identity of Dalits.
