Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Shudras: Vision for a New Path weaves together multiple dimensions of the predicament of India's productive castes-in the spiritual, social, political, economic, philosophical and historical spheres. It reformulates their current position as well as future pathways. It strives to provoke Shudras-including regional political party leaders-all over India to realize their unique historical role in fighting unequal caste structures. And it gives a call to resist Hindutva, in which they have no liberated, equal space with the Dwija castes. At a juncture when the Shudra castes are regionalized and the Dwijas have become 'national', the fifth volume of the Rethinking India series, in collaboration with the Samruddha Bharat Foundation, seeks to bring home the real picture of their marginalized status in all key structures of the nation. It posits that the emancipation and progress of the Shudras are vital to sustain Ambedkar's constitutional democracy and move towards socio-spiritual equality.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Who discovered the first detergent soap in India? Who created scripts as they crafted pots? Who selected and standardised most of the food items we eat today? How did cotton come to be spun into cloth? Who originated the science of making leather out of animal skin? In this book, Kancha Ilaiah throws light on the science, art and skill of adivasis, cattle-rearers, leatherworkers, potters, farmers, weavers, dhobis and barbers. The book documents the contributions to the betterment of human life by castes and communities despised as 'lowly' and 'backward'.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Why are those who consume beef reviled as Untouchables? The trace of this animus lies in the postsixth century CE creation of distinctions between beef-eating Untouchables, meat-eating non-Brahmins and the mostly vegetarian Brahmins. To unearth this lost history, Dr B.R. Ambedkar undertakes a forensic examination of a wide range of Brahmanic literature. He exposes how the cow-loving Brahmin, for whom 'every day was a beef-steak day' in the Vedic period becomes a vegetarian, while the Buddhists who remained beef-eaters become Untouchable and are fenced out of society. At once partisan and dispassionate, militant and meticulous, Ambedkar reveals how some histories are brutalised by time and made to disappear. First published in 1948, The Untouchables: Who Were They and Why They Became Untouchables?, in Ambedkar's words is 'a work of art even more than of history'. This extensively annotated selection, Beef, Brahmins and Broken Men, furthers his sleuthish search. Every source is examined, every thought unpacked, every knot untied. In a bracing introduction, Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd argues how the right to eat beef is the right to equality, it is the right to life.…

In The Weapon of the Other Kancha Ilaiah contends that since colonial times Hindu religious texts which were read only by a small minority of upper caste leaders have been projected as sources of Indian nationalist thought while the Buddhist scriptures the Bible and the Quran whose readers were far more numerous are relegated to the periphery of discussions about nationalism He explores the possibility of examining Indian nationalism from an altogether different perspective ie from the point of view of the Dalitbahujans of India and examines in detail the political core of liberatory ideas expounded by Gautam Buddha as well as modern thinker activists like Ambedkar Phule and Periyar He also foregrounds a marginalized tradition of Dalitbahujan writings thus providing an alternative textual source for developing nationalist thought The theme of the book is moulded by narratives of lives struggles and marginalization of writers who produced these works In contrast with the spiritualistic texts employed by the upper caste intelligentsia the philosophical contours of these texts were shaped by productive culture ethics and philosophy as well as the native common sense of the organic intellectuals the Dalitbahujan writers thinkers and activists The book calls for a paradigm shift in our thinking about nationalism as it asserts that a broad based nationalist thought can only be built upon efforts material and literary of the toiling masses of this nation 230 pp.…
