About this title

Synopsis

The contributors to this volume describe the status of rural untouchable castes and study their efforts to challenge the daily humiliations they face. They reveal the vitality of Dalit movements and the contribution they are making to reshaping Indian society. This book provides a vivid account of a section of the Indian population which is either ignored or misrepresented.
