Abstract
The study of history involves, above all, the study of civilizations and cultures - especially those that arose in human societies. But there is an important question: which human cultures were studied? Were these cultures all encompassing, representing all aspects of human society? Moreover, if these cultures are not universal or representative of all social classes, what are the elements that prevent their broad acceptance? It is important to note that Dalit (Shilpkar) cultures are not homogeneous. If they were, the upper strata of society would accept them in part or in whole. On the contrary, these cultures were categorically rejected as uncivilized or uncivilized, and regulations were put in place to ensure that they would never be assimilated. This research paper aims to examine those very elements and facts.
