Question:

Which one of the following word does not refers to Dalit identity?

Options:

Political assertion

Poverty

Socially Oppressed

Twice-born

Correct Answer:

Twice-born

Explanation:

The term "twice-born" is typically used to refer to members of the upper castes in the Hindu caste system. It refers to the practice of undergoing a ritual ceremony called the Upanayana, which is seen as a second birth. Dalits, on the other hand, are considered to be from the lowest castes in the Hindu caste system and are often referred to as "untouchables".

The other three options, Political assertion, Poverty, and Socially Oppressed, are all closely associated with the Dalit identity. Dalits have a long history of fighting for political representation and social justice, and they continue to face discrimination and poverty today.
