This paper argues for ‘power to the marginalized people’, especially Dalits—who are socially oppressed, politically marginalized and economically exploited. It further lends voice to Dalit activists, who are raising the issues of making governance work for the poor and calling for economic growth that is imbibed with equity and social justice. Their emergence, fight for equality, resistance to caste-based oppression, the sexual onslaught against Dalit women and atrocities in various parts of Haryana, etc., are strong expressions of Dalit assertion. And, indeed, all this signals the rise of an educated class of Dalits demanding development with dignity, a legitimate right rather than just a charity or fulfilment of a Constitutional obligation owed by the Government.

人民的权力：在哈里亚纳邦，达利特人呼吁让治理为穷人和边缘化服务

本文主张“赋予边缘化人民的权力”，尤其是达利特人——他们受到社会压迫、政治边缘化和经济剥削。它进一步为达利特活动家发出声音，他们提出了让治理为穷人服务的问题，并呼吁以公平和社会正义为基础的经济增长。他们的出现、争取平等、抵制种姓压迫、对达利特妇女的性侵犯以及哈里亚纳邦各地的暴行等，都是达利特主张的强烈表达。事实上，所有这些都标志着受过教育的达利特人阶级的崛起，他们要求有尊严的发展，这是一项合法的权利，而不仅仅是施舍或履行政府所欠的宪法义务。
