Dalits in India
Study on the response of church to the problem of caste within the Christian community.
Dalit Studies
The contributors to this major intervention into Indian historiography trace the strategies through which Dalits have been marginalized as well as the ways Dalit intellectuals and leaders have shaped emancipatory politics in modern India. Moving beyond the anticolonialism/nationalism binary that dominates the study of India, the contributors assess the benefits of colonial modernity and place humiliation, dignity, and spatial exclusion at the center of Indian historiography. Several essays discuss the ways Dalits used the colonial courts and legislature to gain minority rights in the early twentieth century, while others highlight Dalit activism in social and religious spheres. The contribut...
Untouchable
Exploring the enduring legacy of untouchability in India, this book challenges the ways in which the Indian experience has been represented in Western scholarship. 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.
Dalits
This book is a comprehensive introduction to dalits in India (who comprise over one-sixth of the country’s population) from the origins of caste system to the present day. Despite a plethora of provisions for affirmative action in the Indian Constitution, dalits are largely excluded from the mainstream except for a minuscule section.

It looks at hitherto unexplored aspects of the degeneration of the dalit movement during the post-Ambedkar period, as well as salient contemporary issues such as the r...
Dalit Theology and Dalit Liberation
In fulfilling the long-awaited need for a constructive and critical rethinking of Dalit theology this book offers and explores the synoptic healing stories as a relevant biblical paradigm for Dalit theology in order to help redress the lacuna between Dalit theology and the social practice of the Indian Church. Peniel Rajkumar's starting point is that the growing influence of Dalit theology in academic circles is incompatible with the praxis of the Indian Church which continues to be passive in its attitude towards the oppression of the Dalits both within and outside the Church. The theological reasons for this lacuna between Dalit theology and the Church's praxis, Rajkumar suggests, lie in the content of Dalit theology, especially the biblical paradigms explored, which do not offer adequate scope for engagement in praxis.

Dalit
This books represets a detailed scholarly analysis of the Dalit situation, but rather to isolate and present the central isues pertinent to thil long oppresion. In comes as an ongoing ple for the ear of the world, from a courageous representative of oneof themost exploited andoppressed populations on earth, victim of a centuries old experiment in forced political integration undr conditions of segregation and cultureal assimilation. i hope this book will helpful and fulfill all the requistes and provede information needed to the readers. It would be the choice for Dalit activists, students, professionals seeking to arouse public indignation against this most outrageous of indiganities against humankind: the notion that the very touchj of some might be polluting to others. Because it says all that most of us need to know in regard tothis social crime against humanity. And there remains so much to be achieved in the Dalit struggle for human dignithy.
