"As is obvious from the term itself, Dalits are the suppressed and oppressed section of our society. The Dalit movement finds its origin in the 19 century when Dalits began making concerted efforts to change their lives and Dalit aspirations began to be taken serious.
This book is addressed to all crucial issues concerning development of Dalits. Supported by facts and figures, this will prove vade mecum to one and all concerned." (jacket)
