On one side a categorical awakening among the dalits had grown beyond all levels of history and on the other it has somewhere stagnant after Dr. Ambedkar mainly due to ideological deposition of stagnation. It would be opportune to look at the post-Baba Sahab Ambedkar the Dalit movement and do a stock taking of the changes within the Dalit’s politics to under the phenomenon. Ups and downs through which the Dalit politics passed through after the death of Baba Saheb can be broadly divided into three phase-rise and fall of the republication party, emergence of the Dalit’s panthers and thirdly the assertion of Dalit’s for political power and their consequent refusal to remain satisfied merely with education and job opportunities arising out of the policy of reservation. There is no need to underline the immense potentialities in the phenomenon of Dalit assertion in today’s caste-ridden polity. There is no denying the fact that it is a step ahead in the real democratization of Indian society and the polity dominated by Brahmincal values and traditions despite near six decade experiment in electoral democracy.
