Author: Yashica Dutt
Narrator: Janina Edwards

Born into a "formerly untouchable manual-scavenging family in small-town India," Yashica Dutt was taught from a young age to not appear "Dalit looking." Although prejudice against Dalits, who compose 25% of the population, has been illegal since 1950, caste-ism in India is alive and well. Blending her personal history with extensive research and reporting, Dutt provides an incriminating analysis of caste's influence in India over everything from entertainment to judicial systems and how this discrimination has carried over to US institutions. Dutt traces how colonial British forces exploited and perpetuated a centuries old caste system, how Gandhi could have been more forceful in combatting prejudice, and the role played by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, whom Isabel Wilkerson called "the MLK of India's caste issues" in her book Caste.

E-BooksDalit Theology and Christian Anarchism



Dalit Theology and Christian Anarchism
Free Download Keith Hebden, "Dalit Theology and Christian Anarchism "
English | ISBN: 1409424391 | 2011 | 186 pages | EPUB, PDF | 539 KB + 2 MB
A second generation of emerging Dalit theology texts is re-shaping the way we think of Indian theology and liberation theology. This book is a vital part of that conversation. Taking post-colonial criticism to its logical end of criticism of statism, Keith Hebden looks at the way the emergence of India as a nation state shapes political and religious ideas. He takes a critical look at these Gods of the modern age and asks how Christians from marginalised communities might resist the temptation to be co-opted into the statist ideologies and competition for power. He does this by drawing on historical trends, Christian anarchist voices, and the religious experiences of indigenous Indians. Hebden's ability to bring together such different and challenging perspectives opens up radical new thinking in Dalit theology, inviting the Indian Church to resist the Hindu fundamentalists labelling of the Church as foreign by embracing and celebrating the anarchic foreignness of a Dalit Christian future.

E-BooksDalit Women and Dropout Rates in Collegiate Education A Study of the Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh



Dalit Women and Dropout Rates in Collegiate Education A Study of the Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh
Free Download Dalit Women and Dropout Rates in Collegiate Education: A Study of the Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh By Silveru Harinath
2013 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 1443844543 | PDF | 1 MB
Caste is an inescapable aspect in terms of education in the Indian state, as it is in many other aspects of public life. Education standards have changed throughout the course of Indian history, but the subjugated Dalits, and particularly female children belonging to this caste, still face the hurdles of caste discrimination in society and in the education sector in particular. Despite introducing state education policies, the scale and size of these policies have not resulted in an increase in Dalit women participating in higher education. Like several other states, Andhra Pradesh (the focus of this book) has been undergoing checks and imbalances in terms of providing education. This book throws light on several issues pertaining to Dalit women and the social stigma they have been facing in dropping out from college education in the Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh.

E-BooksBeyond Dalit Theology Searching for New Frontiers



Beyond Dalit Theology Searching for New Frontiers
Paulson Pulikottil, "Beyond Dalit Theology: Searching for New Frontiers"
English | ISBN: 1506478859 | 2022 | 156 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
This book is a critique of Dalit theology, leading to proposals for the future directions of a theology of social transformation in India. Dalit theology has ruled the roost for the last forty years in the Indian theological landscape. It has captivated the theological imagination in India in spite of other theological movements, like tribal theology, green theology, and so on, which are relatively recent and have had little impact. Despite the dominance of Dalit theology, in the last decade many writers have questioned its social impact and theological efficacy.

E-BooksNo Alphabet In Sight New Dalit Writing from South India



No Alphabet In Sight New Dalit Writing from South India
No Alphabet In Sight: New Dalit Writing from South India By K. Satyanarayana, Susie Tharu
2011 | 125 Pages | ISBN: 0143414267 | PDF | 10 MB
A new wave of writing in which dalit activists, political thinkers and creative writers put into place disturbing yet stimulating propositions about personal and public life in India No Alphabet in Sight is the first of two-volumes aimed at documenting the upsurge of dalit writing and thought in each of the major south Indian languages which began in the 1990s. This volume brings together in English translation the work of over forty intellectuals from Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and provides a textured feel of the new settings in which dalits themselves are addressing the dalit question today. The writers form a distinct group of post-Ambedkarite thinkers who do not belong to traditionally literate lineages. Self-conscious and assertive, they bring to their analyses the force and insight of personal experience as well as an alert awareness of theoretical propositions and political struggles the world over. Nearly all the writings in this volume first appeared outside mainstream publishing in energetic, self-financed little magazines. Experimental work draws on allegorical, mythical and spiritual modalities to push open a space outside the ghettoes of victimhood and golden pasts of dalit communities. 'Dalit' as a political idea is being fashioned today in grounded, practical relationships to the present. In its own small way, No Alphabet in Sight stands witness to this creation.

E-BooksThe Oxford India Anthology of Malayalam Dalit Writing



The Oxford India Anthology of Malayalam Dalit Writing
The Oxford India Anthology of Malayalam Dalit Writing By M. Dasan (editor), V. Pratibha (editor), C.S. Chandrika (editor), Pradeepan Pampirikunnu (editor)
2012 | 424 Pages | ISBN: 0198079400 | PDF | 62 MB
Malayalam, believed to have evolved from tribal, Tamil, and Sanskrit mixes in roughly the 9th century, has a history of writing dating back to the 12th century. It is the youngest of the Dravidian languages, but its written tradition until the latter half of the 20th century has no visible Dalit presence. This anthology makes visible the ideological and aesthetic differences that Malayalam Dalit writing has from its mainstream writing which has already been widely translated. Because Dalit writing demands a different sensibility and ideological paradigm from readers, breakthroughs were slow. With 55 selections from songs, poems, short stories, excerpts from novels, biographical sketches, plays, and critical writings, this collection represents the work of 36 writers and 19 translators. Arranged genre wise and chronologically, the volume includes section introductions for each genre, and short bio-notes on the authors and translators. The General Introduction interprets the historical, cultural, and social contexts of Malayalam Dalit writing, and provides the logical and conceptual framework of the selections for a better understanding of this hitherto marginalized discourse. This volume will appeal to anybody who seeks to understand the ideology, origin, and development of anti-caste literature in South India because the appearance and rise of Dalit writing is one of the most important developments in 20th century Indian literature and politics.
