This book is a comprehensive introduction to Dalits in India from
their origin to the present day. Despite a plethora of provisions
for affirmative action in the Indian Constitution, Dalits still
suffer exclusion on various counts. The book traces the
multifarious changes that befell them through history, germination
of Dalit consciousness during the colonial period and its f
lowering under the legendary leadership of Babasaheb Ambedkar. It
provides critical insights to their degeneration during the
post-Ambedkar period, taking stock of all significant developments
therein such as the rise of the Bahujan Samaj Party, Dalit
capitalism, NGOization of the Dalit discourse and the various
implicit or explicit emancipation schemas thrown up by them. It
also discusses ideology, implicit strategy and tactics of the Dalit
movement, touches upon one of the most contentious issues of
increasing divergence between the Dalit and Marxist movements, and
delineates the role of the state, both colonial and post-colonial,
in shaping Dalit politics in particular ways. This new edition
includes a new chapter providing the causal analysis of the rise of
Hindutva under Narendra Modi, its fascist march obliterating the
idea of India sketched out by the Constitution, and forecasts its
future as the Hindu Rashtra - the Brahmanic-fascist state - which
has been the goal of its progenitors. A tour de force, this book
brings to the fore many key contemporary concerns and will be of
great interest to activists, students, scholars and teachers of
politics, political economy, sociology, anthropology, history and
social exclusion studies.
