Description

Sage Publications India Pvt Ltd Why I Am Not A Hindu : A Sudra Critique Of Hindutva Philosophy Culture And Political Economy by Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd

The most gratifying thing for me [is] that [this book] was listed as a millennium book [by The Pioneer] along with Dr. B. R. Ambedkars Annihilation of Caste. Moreover it has been translated into several Indian languages. In a way it has become a weapon in the hands of Dalitbahujan activists. -from the Afterword to the second edition. Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd writes with passionate anger laced with sarcasm on the caste system and Indian society. He looks at the socioeconomic and cultural differences between the Dalitbahujans and Hindus in the contexts of childhood family life market relations power relations Gods and Goddesses death and not the least Hindutva. Synthesizing many of the ideas of Bahujans he presents their vision of a more just society. In this second edition Ilaiah Shepherd presents an Afterword that discusses the history of this book often seen as the manifesto of the downtrodden Dalitbahujans. He talks of its reviews as well as of the abuse he has received from its detractors. He reminds us of the need for an ongoing dialogue. As he says he wrote the book for all who have open minds. My request to Brahmin Baniya and neo-Kshatriyas [upper class Sudras] is this: You learnt only what to teach others-the Dalitbahujans. Now in your own interest and in the interest of this great country you must learn to listen and to read what we have to say.
