Solution

The correct option is D Indian society is not yet ready to equitably share, on its own, social, cultural and political space with Dalits
As per the third paragraph, second sentence--- In a society that is still largely unwilling to recognize Dalits as equal, rights-bearing human beings, in a society that is inherently indifferent to the everyday violence against Dalits, in a society unwilling to share social and cultural resources equitably with Dalits unless mandated by law (as seen in the anti-reservation discourse); clearly shows Indian society is not yet ready to equitably share, or its own, social, cultural and political space with Dalits. Therefore, option (d) is the correct choice.
