ABOUT THE BOOK

The Dalit Truth is a symphony of Dalit voices as they call out to the
future. The multitude of Dalit truths and their battles against the
lies perpetrated by the caste system are reflected in the pages of
this book, pointing towards a future filled with promise and
prospects for the coming generations.

The eighth volume in the Rethinking India series, published in
collaboration with the Samrudhha Bharat Foundation, probes into the
pathway to be followed by the Dalits as articulated by Ambedkar's
Constitution. The authors featured in the volume come from various
fields of social existence and bring narratives of different colours-not just
stories of dismay but those of possibilities. The essays offer deeper
insights into social, educational, economic and cultural challenges and
opportunities faced by the Dalits, the varied strategies of political parties
for their mobilization and the choice to be made by Dalits for realizing
equality. The informed readers of today will find these pages both
enlightening and refreshing. The Dalit Truth is a dossier for tomorrow.
