After Centuries of slavery, apartheid and ethnocide, the silence is broken. One hundred million Dalits in India, the twentieth century's largest, most repressed minority, cry out for the ear of the world. Who are the Dalits" What does it mean to be labeled as an "untouchable"? Is there a relationship between Brahmanism and India's caste system, the modern Nazi doctrine of Aryan supremacy, and the colonial, US and South African policies promoting white supremacy. Does this book have special meaning for Black America?
Dalit: The Black Untouchables of India Reviews
-
Short introductory account of the Black population of India that are being downpressed by the 1000+ year caste system which Hinduism plays a significant part. The book just directs you to the problem but lacks any serious account of the “Scheduled Caste”/“Untouchability.” Definitely recommend.
-
A valid look at Dalit experiences in India.
