Exploring the historical journey of dalits in India, this book delves into the origins of the caste system and the significant transformations during the colonial era. It highlights Babasaheb Ambedkar's pivotal role in shaping the political landscape for dalits and examines the decline of the dalit movement post-Ambedkar. Contemporary issues such as the emergence of the Bahujan Samaj Party, dalit capitalism, NGO involvement in dalit discourse, and the effects of neoliberalism are also critically analyzed, providing a nuanced understanding of the current state of dalit identity and activism.
