Observed every April, Dalit History Month began in 2014 as a digital-first movement inspired by Black History Month, led by Dalit activists, scholars, and artists. It seeks to spotlight histories often erased from mainstream narratives — stories of resistance, resilience, and intellectual contribution in the face of caste oppression. Here’s a trail that brings that history into the physical world, mapping sites that hold deep significance for Dalit memory, assertion, and identity — inviting you to engage with the past beyond textbooks.
