'Caste is Race in Ancient Times, Race is Caste in Modern Times,
Untouchability is an Aryan Construct. They said God has not created
Untouchables.' Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd goes on to say, 'Many people
from the Brahmin-Baniya castes have written about their own
greatness in their autobiographies, in English and in the regional
languages. But I have not seen even a single autobiography of a
person born and brought up in the shepherd community'. He adds that
it is in writing about themselves that people gain a sense of
self-respect. Shepherd's evocative memoirs reveal the struggle for
education and dignity that a great majority of Indians undergo. As
a little boy herding sheep and goats, he and his brother were the
first to go to school. The author writes of his long and often
interrupted journey to becoming a writer and an intellectual,
without support and having to overcome adversities.
