Abstract

Dalit women bear the heaviest burden of discrimination since they are the focus of the repressive social tiers. This is an attempt to highlight the situation of these marginalized groups using many factors that sociologists frequently use to assess the status of a class. Although depressed women’s literacy rates have grown from 41.9% in 2001 to 56.5% in 2011, there is still a long way to go before they reach the general category’s literacy rate of 64.6%. As a result, Dalit women continue to live in appalling circumstances. Regardless of the unfair terms and circumstances of employment, they are forced to work in poverty that compels them to toil irrespective of the unjust terms and conditions of employment. Even among the depressed castes, the men get precedence over any job. Discrimination and oppression are the most common words that can be used to describe the position of Dalit women. Weak physique and unhealthy living condition are other issues which, contributes to their misery, making them vulnerable to the competitive world. The words ‘violence’, ‘suffering’ and ‘agony’ seem synonymous with these women. Atrocities against Dalit women are only emphasized by caste standards. Hence, much awaits to be done to guarantee justice based on gender and ensure equality in all instances. They are true ‘The Depressed and Ostracized’.

沮丧和排斥:审视印度达利特妇女的状况和她们对野蛮行为的正义斗争
达利特妇女承受着最沉重的歧视负担,因为她们是压制性社会阶层的焦点。这是一种尝试,通过使用社会学家经常用来评估一个阶级地位的许多因素来突出这些边缘化群体的处境。尽管抑郁症妇女的识字率从2001年的41.9%增长到2011年的56.5%,但要达到一般类别的64.6%的识字率还有很长的路要走。因此,达利特妇女继续生活在可怕的环境中。不管不公平的就业条件和环境如何,他们都被迫在贫困中工作,这迫使他们不管不公平的就业条件和条件都要辛苦工作。即使在社会地位低下的种姓中,男性也优先于任何工作。歧视和压迫是用来描述达利特妇女地位的最常见的词。身体虚弱和不健康的生活条件是造成他们痛苦的其他问题,使他们在竞争激烈的世界中处于弱势。“暴力”、“苦难”和“痛苦”似乎是这些女性的同义词。针对达利特妇女的暴行只会被种姓标准所强调。因此,在保障基于性别的正义和确保所有情况下的平等方面,还有许多工作要做。他们是真正的“沮丧和被排斥”。
