Abstract

The Scheduled Castes were excluded from the main stream society, suffered stigma and discrimination, lived in poverty and remained marginalized group. The women among Scheduled castes suffered twin disadvantages, one because of their caste and the other because of their gender. The women among the Scheduled Castes suffered twin disadvantages, one because of their caste and the other because of their gender. They were ‘under privileged’ among the ‘under-privileged’ and ‘discriminated’ among the ‘discriminated’. The Scheduled Caste Women was essence and epitome of ignorance, illiteracy, poverty and pollution. She was an object of sexual pleasure for the higher castes from the time immemorial. The socio cultural religious and economic structure of the society made the Scheduled Castes completely subservient on the higher castes. The economic weakness of the Scheduled Castes was ruthlessly exploited by the higher castes, which took firm shape of sexually abusing the Scheduled Caste Women. As Desai (1993) puts it, the Scheduled Caste women were mere instruments to quench the sexual hunger of the dominant higher castes and so called untouchability of the Scheduled Caste women never came in the way of gratification of sex., The study tries to find whether there is change in soial status of Scheduled Caste Women in Anantapur.

Key words: Social Exclusion, Deprivation, Equity.
