Dalit leaders have played a significant role in the lives of lower caste people. They have created a meaningful political identity for Dalits (oppressed) and inspired them in the collective movement for social change. This article critically explores three major theoretically interlinked and contested components, which are Dalit leadership, collective pride and social class mobility, and discusses the emergent categories. Participants in the present work are highly educated Dalits who take inspiration and pride from Ambedkar’s leadership and believe in the role of collective movement for social change.

达利特领导、集体自豪感和受过教育的达利特人为社会变革而奋斗：挑战社会阶层流动方法的合法性

贱民领袖在低种姓人民的生活中发挥了重要作用。他们为达利特人（受压迫者）创造了一个有意义的政治身份，并在社会变革的集体运动中激励了他们。本文批判性地探讨了达利特领导力、集体自豪感和社会阶层流动性这三个在理论上相互关联和相互竞争的主要组成部分，并讨论了新兴的类别。目前工作的参与者是受过高等教育的达利特人，他们从 Ambedkar 的领导中获得灵感和自豪，并相信集体运动对社会变革的作用。
