Marginalisation and racial exclusion of Dalits is a burning issue today. This book on Dalits goes back into past and looks at the history of Dalit alienation. Issues like racial conflict, racism and justice, relevance of human rights to Dalits, caste and colour prejudices etc. find description in the book. Discrimination on different contexts finds its manifestations in physical segregation of communities, restrictions on resources like water and land, social prohibitions, restrictions on entry to religious places etc. The book enlightens us on such things in a country where constitution guarantees equal rights and privileges to every citizen. The utility of this book for scholars and researchers, social activists and welfare organisations is definitive.
