ABSTRACT

This chapter examines processes, accommodations between higher and lower castes that has eased danger of several threats about security across rural India. Given the limitations on space, it focuses not on accommodations between all higher and lower caste groups, but on only the most important set of accommodations those that have been reached between the formerly dominant landowning castes and Dalits. The chapter describes the surveys of broad array of actions taken by Dalits in recent years all of which indicate their refusal to accept the old caste hierarchies. Individual Dalits increasingly migrate out of villages for extended periods to find work elsewhere or commute on a daily basis to nearby urban centres for the same reason. This enables them to disengage from other castes in their villages in two ways. Dalits have always harboured doubts and dissenting views about caste hierarchies, but in recent times they have made their increasingly strong rejection of them increasingly apparent.
