Dalit Intellectuals And Social Change

The Dalit intelligentsias, in past and in present have yet to fulfill expectation of Dr Ambedkar. Elite and educated dalits, and Buddhists alike share responsibility for, failing to advance the socio-economic condition of the underprivileged dalits. At worst they have actually aggravated (or compounded) the situation by acting in ways, which in hind side will be judged as being for shortsighted political and economical gains. It is that part of dalit population that symbolizes the intellectual class, who finds it difficult to overcome the dalit curse. The present book deals with all the important dimensions of this subject. It is a valuable reference source for all those concerned with this subject.
