Dalit Leadership in India [Hardcover]

Conceptualisation of Dalit Leadership in Indian democratic policies is a difficult preposition. The Book is a modest attempt to understand the same and many other related issues with the Dalit leadership in India. The facts and figures about the origin, growth and development of Dalit Leadership in Indian Society are missing from the main stream academia though the Dalit Leadership has a long History of struggle. An examination about the nature and dynamics, strategy or strategies adopted for mobilisation and empowerment of the Dalit masses, is also not found in different streams of discipline taught at the universities and colleges. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the aforesaid unexplored facts, issues, mysteries etc. about the Dalit Leadership at this crucial juncture when Dalit Assertion has become a socio-political reality. The present book successfully answers most of these queries regarding the Dalit Leadership in a very lucid manner.
