Translated by Gail Omvedt. Maps, black and white photographic and line illustrations, xviii + 203pp, glossary, notes, bibliography, index, a very good paperback copy. "There is much in Vasant Moon's extraordinary story of his vasti, his childhood neighbourhood in India, that would probably be true of any urban ghetto anywhere in the world. But there is much that is peculiarly and vividly Indian. In this first autobiography of a so-called Untouchable, we learn about the inescapable hierarchy imposed by caste, based on ancient principles of heriditary pollution. We see the unmatched importance of the heroic Dr. B. R. Ambedkar for India's awakened and newly ambitious Dalits. We feel, viscerally, Nagpur's heat and the joy brought by the monsoon. Vasant Moon's Vasti, the first Dalit autobiography to be published in English, is a moving and eloquent testament to a uniquely Indian life as well as to the universal human spirit." (Publisher's description).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The present volume of speeches and writings of Dr. Ambedkar brings out his pivotal role as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution. It contains the various motions he moved for amendments his explanation and exposition of principles his magnanimity in appreciating his opponents point of view and his readiness to change his views in the process. Truly the volume brings out the quintessential democrat in Dr. Ambedkar who laid the foundation of the democratic edifice of the government which is the government by discussion and criticism. His colleagues in the constituent assembly bestowed on him generous praise and candid approval of his role as the principle architect of our constitution and perhaps Dr. Pattabhi Sitaramayya summed up the sentiments of the constituent assembly when he said what a steam roller intellect he brought to bear upon this magnificent task irresistible indomitable unconquerable levelling down tall palms and short poppies whatever he felt to be right he stood by regardless of consequences. Editing this volume has been an exciting educative and illuminating experience. While the task has been difficult and every care has been bestowed on including every sentence of Dr. Ambedkar there could be some shortcomings in comments clarifications and in footnotes which one hopes would be corrected by frank criticism of readers and suggestions for improvement which will be gratefully acknowledged and deeply appreciated. 1240 pp.
