520 _aDespite the recognition of their economic and social contributions to the community amid poverty and deprivation and being symbolised as flagbearers of gender autonomy, Dalit women endure patriarchal domination both within and outside their communities. Scholarly attention to the multiple and interconnected identities of Dalit women, with respect to conjugal relationships, mothering practices, care work, and children’s education, remains limited. The paper explores how Balmiki women navigate caste and patriarchal structures, marital disappointments, and care responsibilities through maternal logics within the conjugal relationship. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/26-27/review-gender-studies/dalit-motherhood.html
