Broken Voices - Untouchable Women Speak Out (Paperback)

These previously undocumented stories reveal the lives of the Dalit--or untouchable women--in India by highlighting the continuing issues of human rights and discrimination. Recording such experiences as working in rice fields and living in slums, this work includes oral histories and covers a wide range of topics, including dowry burnings, marriages, beggars, human traffickers, and political and social activists. An exploration of the effects of Dr. Ambedkar, the architect of India's constitution and the advocate of positive reservations for untouchables in education and employment, and other historical movements and religious texts on these women is also included.
