Scheduled Castes in Andhra Pradesh

History tells us that Scheduled Castes have no history of their own. They have been marginalised as objects of the state rather than being treated as the subjects. 1 They are treated as targets of philanthropic and social work rather than citizens of a nation who have equal rights as other citizen to all the benefits that are given to them as worthy citizens. Instead, they have been pushed around and subjugated and exploited at every point in their life. Thus, their status needs to be uplifted and all the atrocities meted out against them, put to an end.
