"Dalits remained a neglected segment of society for long. Poverty-ridden and oppressed, their condition worsened instead of improving.
With the access to education (though very little), awareness and consciousness spread. And they strived for self identity and human dignity for themselves. This book portrays the role of education in upliftment of Dalits." (jacket)
