The book is a collection of essays woven around the contours of the
growth of the dalit movement, the crusade undertaken by the dalit
icons for the cause of dalit emancipation and the burning issues
that have cropped up before the dalits. These issues are at the
crux of very lively debates that are taking place in contemporary
India. Politics of exclusion and identity have restricted the
amalgamation of dalits into the national mainstream to a certain
extent and despite more than 60 years of independence, they are
dependent on reservation as their major mobilisation plank. The new
economic reforms have led to reduction in the scope and breadth of
reservation and lessened the role of the state to the detriment of
majority of the dalit population. The challenges posed to the dalit
movement by the mandalites and the Hindutva forces have also been
discussed in the book. Dalit symbolism and the repercussions of
such acts on overall polity, position of the dalits in rural India
& their acute deprivation from land assets and inter squabbles
among them have also been highlighted in this book. The
presentation style is lucid and simple so as to enable even
ordinary readers to understand the topics. One hopes that the book
will be found to be useful for the students of Indian polity.
