VOICES OF RESISTANCE: Ten Female Historians Who Shaped Ambedkarite Thought
The Feminine Voice in Ambedkarite Historiography The history of modern India is deeply intertwined with struggles for social justice, equality, and human dignity. Within these struggles, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s intellectual revolution against caste and patriarchy stands as one of the most profound. However, the historical narrative of Ambedkarite movements has often been dominated by male voices, overshadowing the intellectual and activist contributions of women scholars who extended and deepened Ambedkar’s vision. This book seeks to recover and analyze those feminine voices of resistance voices that not only chronicled the social transformation led by Ambedkar but also reshaped the very methodology of historical inquiry.

Dalit Text
This book, companion to the much-acclaimed Dalit Literatures in India, examines questions of aesthetics and literary representation in a wide range of Dalit literary texts. It looks at how Dalit literature, born from the struggle against social and political injustice, invokes the rich and complex legacy of oral, folk and performative traditions of marginalised voices. The essays and interviews systematically explore a range of literary forms, from autobiographies, memoirs and other testimonial narratives, to poems, novels or short stories, foregrounding the diversity of Dalit creation. Showcasing the interplay between the aesthetic and political for a genre of writing that has ‘change’ ...
The Caste Question
This innovative work of historical anthropology explores how India's Dalits, or ex-untouchables, transformed themselves from stigmatized subjects into citizens. Anupama Rao's account challenges standard thinking on caste as either a vestige of precolonial society or an artifact of colonial governance. Focusing on western India in the colonial and postcolonial periods, she shines a light on South Asian historiography and on ongoing caste discrimination, to show how persons without rights came to possess them and how Dalit struggles led to the transformation of such terms of colonial liberalism as rights, equality, and personhood. Extending into the present, the ethnographic analyses of The Caste Question reveal the dynamics of an Indian democracy distinguished not by overcoming caste, but by new forms of violence and new means of regulating caste.
