The Dalit diaspora emerged simultaneously but separately with a strong consciousness and commitment to ameliorate caste disabilities both at home and in the host land. One can discern a perceptible influence of Dr Ambedkar’s dictum ‘educate, organise and agitate’ on Dalits. Therefore, the educated Dalits have organised themselves through various international organisations and are agitating against caste discrimination, in the process carving out a dignified identity for themselves. This article delves into the emergence and activism of the numerous international organisations and institutions working on Dalit issues in diasporic locations. It specifically analyses the attempts to incorporate caste as descent-based discrimination within the ambit of racism at various international forums and its inclusion as protected characteristics within the Equality Act, 2010, of the UK. These efforts have been successful in challenging the caste hegemony at both local and global levels and are a step forward towards its eradication. – Reproduced   aIndian diaspora, Dalit diaspora, Dr. Ambedkar, Dalit studies, International organizations and activism.932915  aSociological Bulletin   aDALITS  cAR  00102ddc40709394480aIIPAbIIPAd2022-09-13h 71(1), Jan, 2022: p.114-132pAR127004r2022-09-13yAR
