💨 Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced by Dalit individuals, particularly women, in the dating world, highlighting the persistent influence of caste. It explores how caste dynamics affect dating choices, even within the Dalit community, due to intergenerational trauma and societal conditioning. The author notes that dating apps, despite their promise of openness, often reinforce caste boundaries through subtle markers like surnames and cultural cues.
