ABSTRACT

Dalits are denied basic human rights and condemned as social outcasts in the democratic republic of India. Despite the fact that the Indian constitution has various measures to defend Dalit people’s human rights, ongoing violence and discrimination in society show that the legal system and administrative structures have failed to safeguard the interests of the dalit community. Because they are poor, members of the Dalit caste, and women, they bear a triple burden in society. Dalit women frequently experience a variety of societal issues, and they are exposed everywhere in both the public and private domains of life. In this context, the research examines the problems and difficulties related to the Indian dalit women’s human rights protection mechanisms.
