About This Book
My Family's Triumphant Journey Out of the Caste System in Modern
India
Every sixth human being in the world today is an Indian, and every sixth
Indian is an untouchable. For thousands of years the untouchables, or
Dalits, the people at the bottom of the Hindu caste system, have been
treated as subhuman. Their story has rarely been told. This remarkable
book achieves something altogether unprecedented: it gives voice to
India's voiceless.
In Untouchables, Narendra Jadhav tells the awe-inspiring story of his
family's struggle for equality and justice in India. While most Dalits
had accepted their lowly position as fate, Jadhav's father rebelled
against the oppressive caste system and fought against all odds to forge
for his children a destiny that was never ordained.
Based on his father's diaries and family stories, Jadhav has written the
triumphant story of his parents -- their great love, unwavering courage,
and eventual victory in the struggle to free themselves and their
children from the caste system. Jadhav vividly brings his parents' world
to light and unflinchingly documents the life of untouchables -- the
hunger, the cruel humiliations, the perpetual fear and brutal abuse.
Compelling and deeply compassionate, Untouchables is a son's tribute to
his parents, an illuminating chronicle of one of the most important
moments in Indian history, and an eye-opening work of nonfiction that
gives readers access and insight into the lives of India's 165 million
Dalits, whose struggle for equality continues even today.
