内容説明

Why did Dalits join forces with the Hindu Rights that unleashed the terrible riots in Gujarat against the Muslims in 2002? Why are Dalits, the primary targets of the Hindu caste system, prepared to accept Hindutva or the political philosophy of upper caste Hindu' supremacy? In this path-breaking collection, the contributors, all eminent in their fields, consider the many issues raised by the Hindutva overture towards Dalits. The question of Dalit women vis-a-vis Dalit men and others is also discussed. Divided into two parts, the first discusses the theoretical perspective while the second considers Hindutva in operation. The views presented do not offer a consensus simply because none exists. This book makes an invaluable contribution to the current debate.
