The case for Dalit reparations
基于种姓制度的历史起源与演变，论证为何应给予达利特人赔偿以弥补历史不公，并探讨赔偿的可能形式。
Abstract Research on caste to date has examined the largely contemporary situation of the ex-untouchables and descendants of the caste-enslaved in India, the Dalits, and made policy suggestions. This paper builds an argument based on historic origins and the evolution of the caste social structure and on how this longest surviving system of oppression continues to have a severe impact on the lives of the descendants. It not only provides a justification for why reparations are owed to this community and are necessary to bridge the social gap, but also looks at the various forms it could take, as a legislated policy of redress for an historic injustice.
