On the death anniversary of Dr.BR Ambedkar, Holding an open forum titled "Voices from the Marginalised Society" with people from various societies participating. Caste system is one most affecting evil in our country. Discriminations are have been ever increasing and atrocities are on a greater prowl. The thrive towards equality has only remained farce as the marginalized still remain vulnerable to the brutal atrocities right from Khairlanji incident to the recent attacks in Osmania University campus on a aDalit leader. The Dalit communities are always gripped by the constant fear of brutal violence being committed against them. The recent Badaun Dalit girl’s massacre investigation exposes the lampoon state of affairs and Chunduru Massacre judgment manifests the legal atrocities which are also being constantly inflicted upon them, leaving no respite. While, Denying them land, resources, education, social exclusion and sexual assaults on the Dalit women still remain as the most predominant ways of discrimination across the country, the strive for “Social Equality” has not brought much joy into even those Dalits who are trying to overhaul the odds and lead dignified lives, as they are being made to face newer kinds of discrimination in the educational institutions, work spaces and in all other Urban Specta as well. This discussion by eminent panelists is followed by an open discussion will address the “Nuances of Caste Discrimination in today’s world”.

All are welcome. Entry - Free.
