The Untouchability Of Dalits: The Economic And Social Exclusion Of Dalits In The Post-Independence Era, Duhita Das
Senior Projects Spring 2021
This project examines whether economic development efforts in India were effective in mobilizing Dalits during the post-independence era.

The second half of the study provides a data-driven analysis of trends in the …
