It studies the burgeoning Dalit politics in North India and shows how Dalit women heroes (viranganas) of the 1857 Rebellion have emerged as symbols of Dalit assertion in Uttar Pradesh and are being used by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to build the image of its leader, Mayawati. It demonstrates how myths and memories of the role of Dalits in India's freedom struggle are employed for constructing identity and reconstructed for political mobilization. 0aDalitsxPolitical activityzIndiazUttar Pradesh. 0aWomen heroesxMythologyxPolitical aspectszIndiazUttar Pradesh.  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2022-02-14eGRATISg0.00l0o305.568809542 NAR-Wp52058r2022-03-03 00:00:00w2022-03-03yBK
