Educate. Agitate. Organise.

The struggle is not over

Sanitation workers are dying in sewers while officials deny manual scavenging exists. Students are taking their lives inside India's most prestigious universities. Courts are acquitting mobs that committed their crimes in broad daylight. The same structures Ambedkar named and fought — graded inequality, brahmanical law, the violence of untouchability — are operating today, in new clothes.

This moment demands what every hard moment has demanded: clarity, courage, and a public record that cannot be erased.

What we build here

The Dalit Project brings together the tools that any serious movement needs.

• Perspectives — Analysis that doesn't flinch. Politics, economy, law, and culture read through Ambedkarite thought and grounded in evidence. Not opinion for its own sake — argument that the struggle can use.
• Memory — The people, movements, and events that built the anti-caste world: Ambedkar and Phule, the Mahad Satyagraha and the Dalit Panthers, Karanchedu and Una. A movement that forgets its own history is a movement that can be deceived about its future.
• Newswire — Dalit and anti-caste coverage gathered from across the press in one place. Atrocities and justice. Education. Economy and labour. Politics. Diaspora. Culture. The struggle is happening everywhere, every day — we make it visible.
• Listen — Oral histories, conversations, and field notes. The voices that never get transcribed elsewhere.
• Imagine — Fiction, poetry, and speculative futures. Imagination precedes transformation!
• Debate — A community space for hard questions and honest disagreement. The anti-caste tradition has always argued with itself. That is a strength.

How it works

Every piece is reviewed and approved before it appears, by the editor, who are themselves a Dalit. They create meaning and hold accountability.

Nothing goes live without editorial judgment. Where we get something wrong, we say so, and we correct it.
