Intersectionality and Caste in South Asian Tech Sectors

In South Asia, particularly India, intersectionality deeply involves caste alongside gender and religion. Tech professionals may discuss discrimination not only in terms of gender and class but also caste-based exclusion, which affects hiring, mentorship, and promotion. The term "Dalit women in tech" reflects this unique intersectionality that Western discourses often overlook.
