Dalit women in India are born into a condition of servitude in which they are considered sexually accessible to the upper classes. These women are often massacred or cruelly punished for minor offenses, eg, 'getting above themselves,' suspicion, & the like. Poverty often forces them into prostitution. These women are now becoming aware of their oppression & opposing it, seeking the improvement in their position needed to end these abuses. W. H. Stoddard.
