Résumé
Les activistes dalits indiens ont su s’allier à de nouveaux réseaux internationaux alternatifs. Comment des activistes qui se préoccupent de questions aussi particulières et spécifiquement régionales que la discrimination fondée sur la caste en Inde ont-ils été amenés à s’intéresser à d’autres mouvements sociaux d’autres régions du monde, voire à s’allier à ces mouvements? Quelles circonstances ont permis aux activistes dalits de se préparer et de s’équiper pour s’insérer dans ces nouveaux types de réseaux mondiaux? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous brossons d’abord le tableau du mouvement dalit en nous interrogeant sur la façon dont les expériences acquises par ce mouvement ont facilité les interrelations avec d’autres groupes lors d’occasions comme le Forum social mondial. L’hétérogénéité des orientations au sein du mouvement dalit, la structure organisationnelle de ce mouvement et l’utilisation d’Internet sont examinées à la lumière des réseaux mondiaux alternatifs. S’appuyant sur l’ethnographie, le présent article rend compte d’une analyse parmi beaucoup d’autres qui traitent de ce que l’on appelle l’altermondialisation.

Abstract
The Indian Dalit activists have easily related to recent alternative global networks. It may not be obvious what make Dalit activists, whom are focussed on such a unique and regionally specific question as caste discrimination in India interested in or even able to relate to movement activists in other parts of the world. What are the circumstances that make the Dalit activists well prepared and equipped to move into these new kinds of global networks? To answer the question an overview of the Dalit movement will be presented. It will be discussed how experiences within the Dalit movement have facilitated interrelations with other movement activists at occasions like the World Social Forums. The heterogeneity in movement perspectives and organizational structure as well as the Internet use in the Dalit movement will be dwelt on, in the light of alternative global networks. The article relates, with the help of ethnography, one account among many of what is called alternative globalization.

Resumen
Los activistas dalits indios han sabido aliarse a las nuevas redes internacionales alternativas. ¿Cómo activistas que se preocupan por cuestiones particulares y específicamente regionales como la discriminación fundada sobre la casta en India se han interesado otros movimientos sociales de otras regiones del mondo, e incluso se han aliado a esos movimientos? Cuales han sido las circunstancias que han permitido a los activistas dalits prepararse y equiparse para poder insertarse en los nuevos tipos de redes mundiales? Para dar una respuesta a estas cuestiones, por principio bosquejamos un cuadro del movimiento dalit cuestionando la manera en que las experiencias adquiridas por ese movimiento han facilitado las interrelaciones con otros grupos gracias a eventos como el Foro social mundial. La heterogeneidad de las orientaciones al interior del movimiento dalit, su estructura organizacional y la utilización de Internet, se examinan a la luz de las redes mundiales alternativas. Apoyándose en la etnografía, el presente artículo presenta un análisis entra tantos otros que abordan lo que se denomina como altermundialización.
