A Sociological Analysis of Caste- Based Atrocity Incidents in Maharashtra: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

Several caste-based incidents of atrocities have shown an increase in the state of Maharashtra over the years due to the deep-rooted social inequalities and persistent discrimination against the Dalit community, deprived of their fundamental rights. This particular research paper aims to discover the selected atrocity incidents in both rural and urban Maharashtra that have frequently taken place. To consider the same view, the socio-economic background of the victims and culprits, which is a pattern and form of violence, outrages, and discrimination the original cause of the social consequences of these incidents. The researcher's findings suggest that there are traditional power, hierarchies, economic need, and political downgrading, and a lack of protective lawmaking execution by the upper caste Hindu organizations. There is continuous segregation and humiliation, physical violence, and murder that reflect the stressful surroundings within contemporary caste relations. The state of Maharashtra reveals its social reform movements with the inconsistencies and endures to witness numerous caste- based atrocities, especially against the scheduled caste and the scheduled tribes, and other marginalized communities. This case study approach investigates some selected incidents and understands the multifaceted affiliation of social, economic, political, and institutional factors that are responsible for creating violence against Dalits.
