This thesis interrogates the persistence of Nepal’s caste system through my lived experiences alongside the often-overlooked everyday experiences of Dalit women. Employing autoethnography and juxtaposing these narratives with the growing body of scholarship and debates surrounding entrenched social stratifications, this study introduces “critical caste parenting” (CCP) as a concept and analytical framework. CCP explores how caste ideologies are transmitted, negotiated, and resisted within families, contributing to their persistence in broader society. Drawing from critical race parenting scholarship, the thesis centers the agency and lived experiences of Dalit women. By exploring the intergenerational dynamics of parenting as a site of both social reproduction and potential resistance, the thesis argues for the role of the CCP in imagining a Dalit futurity free from caste-based oppression. This work contributes to critical Dalit and caste studies, feminist thought, and understandings of the Nepali state’s role in the formation and persistence of caste-based stratification.
