本文使用最近的实地研究，以挑战广泛持有的观点，即“贱民革命”正在印度北部发生。作者在北方邦西部的一个村庄进行了两年的民族志研究，揭示了达利特人（前贱民）中一代地方政治活动家日益增长的重要性，同时也表明这些年轻人未能在地方一级实现广泛的结构转型。作者用这个案例来确定需要进一步研究南亚的政治变革，党的政治转型的问题，地方层面的社会实践和下级意识。
This paper uses recent field research to challenge the widely held view that a “Dalit revolution” is occurring in North India. Drawing on two years' ethnographic research in a village in western Uttar Pradesh, the authors uncover the growing importance of a generation of local political activists among Dalits (former untouchables) while also showing that these young men have not been able to effect a broad structural transformation at the local level. The authors use this case to identify a need for further research on South Asian political change that links party political transformation to questions of local level social practice and subaltern consciousness.
