Ambedkar International Center (abbr.AIC) is a civil rights advocacy group that was formed in 2012 to fight against caste discrimination in the United States. The organization's mission is to strengthen unity among scheduled castes (SCs), scheduled tribes (STs) and other backward classes (OBCs) living in the United States of America.[1] The organisation is named after the Indian social activist and caste reformer, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.[1][2]
Caste is a birth based hierarchical system wherein people are divided into many endogamous groups doing hereditary occupation.[3][4] As Yashica Dutta writes in the New York Times, Dalit, meaning oppressed, is a self-chosen identity for a quarter of India’s population who have been at the receiving end of centuries old systematic and institutionalised discrimination and disenfranchisement.[5]
