The authors introduce the long tradition of Dalit emancipatory struggle and present a sustained critique of academic discourse on the dynamics of caste in Indian society. Case studies complement these arguments, underscoring the perils and problems that Dalits face in a contemporary context of communalized politics and market reforms UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781685851903 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781685851903 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781685851903/original ER -
