Scheduled Caste Women and Higher Education

The status of women belonging to Scheduled Castes are
perhaps best revealed by studying the social, economic, educational,
health and political conditions of these women. They are the have not's
of Indian society. They deserve all attention and support from State,
Community and Society. Earlier they were neglected by upper castes
and their own fellows. For a long period, the social justice was based on
class, religion, creed and caste. The high rate of infant mortality, child
mortality and maternal deaths among Scheduled Caste Women was
serious problem. Scheduled Caste Women are discriminated due to a
patriarchic dominated social structure on the one hand and humiliation
within them due to caste ridden social system on the other. Therefore, a
proper and transparent justice was never possible.
