Caste and gender are intricately intertwined in the Indian social milieu. A thorough examination reveals that the existence of caste identity is fundamentally reliant on women. Therefore, the only option available to those who advocate and preach the caste system is to control both upper-caste and Dalit women for the unchallenged maintenance of the man-made, suppressive caste-based social structure. However, Dalit women are the most common victims in this social setting since they are subjected to many forms of discrimination based on both their gender identity and caste. As a result, Dalit women have been found to be trapped at the hands of upper castes, raped, insulted, and abused, and they remain anxious due to their insecurity in this context as they have been viciously and continually exploited. It is seen that whenever there is a clash between castes, the higher caste Hindus try to subdue the Dalits’ agitation with the help of government machinery, destroying their crops, burning their houses, or raping their women. Raping of Dalit women is a sharp tool in the hands of upper castes, which they vehemently use to control the movement of the Dalits. According to critics, rape is essentially considered a form of male violence that may be used for various reasons, but this particular violence is perpetrated against Dalit women with a different purpose and with greater intensity. As argued by Gopal Guru in his article “Dalit Women Talk Differently” (1995), “…the question of rape cannot be grasped merely in terms of class, criminality, or as a psychological aberration or an illustration of male violence. The caste factor also has to be taken into account which makes sexual violence against dalit or tribal women much more severe in terms of intensity and magnitude” (2548).
