ABSTRACT
Finally, this research utilizes case study methodology based on a combination of various types of data and methods, including participant observation at the 2004, 2005, and 2007 World Social Forums and interviews with Dalit leaders. In addition, I examined the content of messages and documents circulated through a Dalit listserv, and reviewed Dalit scholarship, and numerous policy documents on the impact of globalization upon the Dalits.
