Paperback. Zustand: As New. Reprint. For the first time Dalits are writing about their lives themselves. They have long been written about by others by anthropologists historians and novelists. In fighting against the gross and tremendous injustice that has been their heritage for centuries Dalit writers give voice to their aspirations for achieving equality. Translated into English for the first time from the original Hindi Omprakash Valmiki's autobiography talks of growing up in a village near Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh in an untouchable caste Chuhra well before the defiant term Dalit was coined. As he states bleakly Dalit life is excruciatingly painful charred by experiences only he or she who has suffered this anguish knows its sting. Joothan refers to the scraps left on plates that are then given to Dalits to eat. In some ways it is a symbol of the demeaning existence imposed on the Dalits. Valmiki's story is one of terrible grief and oppression of survival and achievement of his emergence as a freer human being in a society that remains compassionless towards Dalits. 134 pp.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 'My stories are born out of the oppression, discrimination, happiness, sorrow, insults, oppositions and experiences woven by the society around me. In the crevices.are the problems of generations of my untouchable mothers, sisters and the children'. Translated for the first time into English, Joopaka Subhadra's stories expose the lives of Madiga women, the most oppressed among Dalits in Telangana. As she declares that she has drawn these from lived experiences, the reader in turn witnesses the cruelties in the lives of Dakkalis, who are wandering bards, disturbance in the old feudal hierarchies with the arrival of educated Dalit youth, lack of compassion in society for women with disabilities, and the absence of accountability in government institutions, society, and the state. The stories reveal the subtle discrimination practiced despite education and employment and those on the politics of food are particularly intriguing.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. In South Asia, political liberation resulted in the partition of states, leading to huge flows of refugees who faced horrific, indescribable violence. In addition there are the internally displaced people (IDPs), religious and ethnic minorities, indigenous people, dalits and the urban poor who get displaced many times over. Persecution and discrimination occur together. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) responded with a Ten-Point Plan of Action for Refugee Protection and Mixed Migration. This was the focus of a two-day dialogue on 'Protection Strategies in South Asia' organized by Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group (MCRG), resulting in this comprehensive collection, compiled by social scientists, media analysts and activists. It offers an analysis of the principles of protection, their inadequate implementation; the disparity between economic growth and human development indices that leads to massive human flows: refugees, IDPs or economic migrants.
