However, caste practices have been found to be the most significant inhibiting factor across all states. Despite the challenges, the study recognizes the immense potential of Dalit leadership in panchayats. These local leaders possess the capacity to bring about irreversible positive changes in the social system, changes that cannot always be achieved by democratically elected state and union governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNarender Kumar has been teaching at Motilal Nehru College, University of Delhi, since 1999.
