Caste and patriarchy are deeply interrelated in the Indian social structure. Caste is a base for the graded inequality which is reproduced through the mechanism of endogamy. Thus, women become key to maintaining the endogamy. However, in India the so-called mainstream feminist movement and its theoretical formulations often either neglect or undermine the caste roots of the patriarchal structure. The international laws and UNO sustainable development goals talk about gender equality, participation, and representation in society for a dignified life. SDG goal 5 specifically emphasizes women’s empowerment and protection from violence. Within the caste system, the most marginalized among women is Dalit women. Hence, Dalit women’s voices and struggles against discrimination and violence are an important aspect of inclusive gender equality. The Dalit feminist movement argues that caste roots of patriarchy are key for the function of Brahmanical patriarchy. Hence, the Dalit feminist movement in particular, and the anti-caste feminist approach in general critiqued the dominant feminist perspectives. The Dalit feminist approach is articulating an alternative view to understand the violence on Dalit women and its graded patriarchy. This proposed paper is aimed at understanding the relationship between caste and graded patriarchy and its manifestation of violence on Dalit women through an Ambedkarite perspective.
