According to him, those communities who were pushed into exclusions for ages to age now have their rights and participation in the decision-making levels at the State’s various bodies following a revolutionary change in the nation.
Communities that endured centuries of oppression, including those subjected to untouchability, now hold positions in 6,743 wards and other State bodies.
The women community who are referred to as ‘half the sky’ were largely confined to the domestic roles. But with the historic transformation in the country, they lead the 753 local levels as the mayors or the deputy mayors.
