| Summary/Abstract |
What does it mean to be an untouchable in India? Why do some Indians despise the touch of others? Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891 1956), one of India's foremost revolutionaries, recounts his experiences of growing up untouchable and being routinely discriminated against: in school at the age of 10, in Baroda after his return from Columbia University, and while traveling. Battling odds, Ambedkar drafted the Constitution of India and eventually embraced Buddhism. Experiences similar to Ambedkar's continue to haunt a majority of India's 170 million dalits.
In the preface to this work, John Berger writes that history which used to be written as the dreams of visionaries, artists, songs and dramatics is now reduced to a shopping mall in its terrifying mediocrity.
This book however dares to recreate a corporeal experience across generations, full of pain and empathy, nurtured by a complexity and endurance.
