In this path-breaking study, a first in many ways, Anandita Pan
argues that dalit women are an intersectional category,
simultaneously affected by caste and gender. The use of
intersectionality permits observation of the ways in which
different forms of discrimination combine and overlap, challenging
the apparent homogeneity of the categories 'woman' and 'dalit' as
seen by mainstream Indian Feminism and Dalit Politics. This points
to the difference between women and dalit women and the latter with
dalit men, which leave them unrepresented. The book investigates
the questions of 'selfhood', identity, representation and
epistemology which reveal the 'savarnanization' of 'Indian woman'
and the masculinization of 'dalit'. There is an incisive discussion
of knowledge produced about dalit women and the intervention and
contribution of Dalit Feminism therein. The book concludes with the
question of who can be or become a dalit feminist, intriguingly,
not a limited category.
