Land is not only a productive (economic) asset; it is also a broader indicator of socio-economic statusin an agrarian society. It is pertinent to examine whether land is at the center of current social debate and discourse on social exclusion/inclusion, especially social hierarchy and caste. In this context, this study was designed to examine access of Dalit Community to land resource from different intersectionality perspectives.Based on the field studyin Mahottari, Kaski and Dang, the research findings show that caste system and hierarchy have implications on access to land resource (land ownership)determines the class status.

As the research indicates, Dalits are excluded differentially while visualizing through the intersectionality in terms of class, caste and gender. So, different categories/sections of Dalits require differential treatments and multiple social equity measures for their inclusion in socio-economic, and political spheres.

This study has contributed to the theoretical debate on 'caste and class' and 'class formation processes' emphasizing that caste has strong association with class status. Methodologically, employing the intersectionality perspective was a useful way to understand the heterogeneity of the Dalitcommunity in terms of caste categories and the subsequent hierarchy with consequences of social status and class position.
