Rather, what is needed is to nuance the question of Dalit identity and then flesh out what we mean when we speak of "the Dalit perspective." Key to doing this is to reconceptualize Dalit identity as a fluid identity: that is, an identity that both destabilizes and allows for the assemblage of alliances among all afflicted. |
