Question:

Political organisation that supports Dalits in their struggle for justices and dignity:-

Options:

Bhujan Sangharsh Party

Dalit Sangarsh Samiti

Bahujan Samaj Sangaharsh Samiti

Dalit Samaj Party

Correct Answer:

Dalit Sangarsh Samiti

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Dalit Sangarsh Samiti

State action alone cannot ensure social change. In any case, no social group howsoever weak or oppressed is only a victim. Human beings are always capable of organising and acting on their own – often against very heavy odds – to struggle for justice and dignity. Dalits too have been increasingly active on the political, agitational, and cultural fronts. From the pre-Independence struggles and movements launched by people like Jyotiba Phule, Iyotheedas, Periyar, Ambedkar and others to contemporary political organisations like the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh or the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti of Karnataka, Dalit political assertion has come a long way.
