Debate the issue of whether and how contemporary movements for assertion of Dalit identity work towards annihilation of caste?

Yes, they do work for the annhiliation of caste because
1. We khave seen similar anti dalit movement during our freedom struggle, they finally led to the abolition of untouchability as a fundamental right.
2. They create an impression that they can not be subjugated by the castes such as brahmins, rajputs- so assertion of dalit identity tries to propagate Right to eqaulity mentioned in the constitution- Art 14
3. It is also accepted by the society- as majority section of the society thinks, such caste system is anti -human rights and a societal sin.
4. culture that promotes superiority of caste system such as rituals to be perfomred by only brhamans begin to be looked upon with suspicion, in many temples, dalits have been appointed as the pujari

Dalit assertion lbrings towards annhiliation of caste in the following ways
1. by bringing put inequality in the society before government and among people in society
2. attracting international human rights bodies to work for this issue, so that there is annhilitation of caste
3. acting as pressure group before the government

** You can write in how part: by showing intellectual ferver - music , books on famous personalities, autobiography etc. in assertion rallies work towards fusion with other castes.
