This paper would problematize how caste and gender dynamics work in the act of moral policing IN Kerala. It also examines the different trajectories of moral policing against lower caste women, especially Dalit women in the context of Kerala. Given that caste, class and gender emerge as categories that determine a person’s very entry and respectability in public space, I would like to look at certain recent instances that brought the question of Dalit women’s respectability and invisible moral policing in to discussion. This paper tries to analyses how the hegemonic imaginations created around Dalit women’s sexuality and agency produce them as inhuman objects. Brahminical patriarchy projects these women as extreme sexual subjects and such narrations persuade the popular sensibilities of the Kerala’s public sphere.
