A kind of neo-liberalism is operating against them (people considered to be from lower caste).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As per <strong>Yengde,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrivatisation is at the helm of making people poorer and poorer. Multiple institutions today, including the police, judiciary and legislature, continue to remain ignorant of Dalit rights, pride and futurism. Rather, caste oppression is reinventing itself. At present, there is only a Dalit subaltern movement fighting at the grassroots level,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe notion of caste has to be hierarchically melted.
