Brahmin, Kshatriya, Baishya and Shudra where Brahmins have placed themselves in the top position in social hierarchy system. A vast majority of Indian masses were and are regarded as lower castes and untouchables. They have been subjugated and exploited socially, economically, politically or even in culturally for centuries by the higher castes in order to establish Brahmanic hegemony. When the wave of modernity touched this land, education and rationality spread.People became aware concerning their rights,liberty and equality. They were organized by forming various organizations and agitated for their issues. This paper has tried to trace the history both past & present of dalit movements in India.
