Social inequality is their in Indian society since from the ancient time. Among the other factors which contributed for the inequality, the caste system in the Indian society occupies the predominant role. As the lower caste were to subject traditional work with low income earnings. Scheduled caste has low Social and Economic Status. The low status is on account of socio-cultural economic and political restrictions imposed on them traditionally by the Society at large. These restrictions resulted in confining the arena of activity of the scheduled caste to a limit. As this environment continued even after India's independence, and the constitutional provisions came into force for the achievement of social justice and equality. As the process of transformation of lower caste people had taken place. Further, the impact of reservation provisions within the lower caste benefited and few of them emerged as elites among the lower caste. Particularly in the state of Karnataka the scheduled caste transformation is being taken place by the involvement of elite people from scheduled caste.

It also intends to identify the roles of scheduled caste elites and organizations for creating political awareness among the schedule caste people. The paper also intends to focuses on the over all social transformation in Gulbarga District from the members of scheduled castes.

This book delves into the history of the Dalit movements in Coastal Andhra and the Telangana regions of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. It is a critical study on the behavioural pattern of the Dalit leaders in the combined state of Andhra Pradesh. Though the spearheads of the movements entered electoral politics after India's independence, the system of 'joint electorate' and politics of cooptation adopted by the dominant political parties have diluted the movement for social structural change. This is reflected in the persistent social exclusion and occasional atrocities against Dalits, especially in rural areas. The trajectory of clientelism, the inroads of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and the strategies adopted to compete with the entrenched political parties are critically examined in this book. It concludes with strategies for mobilisation and political power in the light of changing political equations in the state and the country.
