Abstract.
According to the valid historical context of disempowerment of the Dalits and Adivasis in India, Caste system has been the source of anxiety and of the silenced Communities for a long time. Every sixth human being in the world today is an Indian, & interstingly every sixth Indian, is an erstwhile “Untouchable”, or a general terminological conceptualization of the notion of being a Dalit in a Modern India. At present there are around 180 million Dalits, categorized and classified as the “Scheduled Castes” in India. In addition, there are about ninety million Adivasis, or the so called “Scheduled Tribes.” Empowerment of the Dalits has been the banal curse of the maginalized in Indian society suffering with various difficulties and social problems from the ancient and the most powerful of Indian institutionalized Caste system which carries the continuance and social respectiblity for more than 3,500 years of discrimination and segretation preventing the integration of the Dalits and the Adivasis.
