The present work is unique in its nature and spirit of encompassing
Dalit identity, literature and movements and compiling all the
necessity requisites of Dalit antiquity, making the authors
argument solid and building an alternative hegemony to the dominant
one especially in the Indian history. The author tries to theorize
Dalit literatures, movements and tries to build an all Indian
Dalit-identity through a separate Dalit epistemology and
alternative world view, in terms of separate Dalit
culture(Dravidian), civilization(Indus),
philosophy(Lokayat-Charvak-Buddhist) literature (protest
literature) and an inclusive identity all through the Indian
history, which includes all oppressed. The book more or less wants
to emphasize the discourse on 'Dalit' as a 'concept' Dalit as a
'condition' and Dalit as 'category'. The writer intend to highlight
in his argument, which runs through the book by different chapters,
that claims 'Dalit as an inclusive and encompassing category very
much similar to the Dalit panthers Definition'. Dalit as an
autonomous category which has its own characteristics, the 'Dalit
world' is within itself, which deconstruct the
dominant-Brahminic-bourgeois history.
