Mahad: The Making of the First Dalit Revolt with the Account of Comrade R.B. More, The Chief Organizer of the First Conference

Dr. Anand Teltumbde, the author of this book represents the best combination of scholarship, activism and commitment to the cause of suffering people. He has been associated with Human Rights movements and various peoples’ struggles since his student days. He perhaps carries the unique legacy of legendary Prof. D.D. Kosambi, insofar as being an outstanding scholar in his own fields – Technology, Management, and Cybernetics; he is making original contributions to various aspects of theory and practice of peoples’ movements. He has already made a mark as a keen student of the Left movements and radical interpreter of Ambedkar. His books and writings on globalization, human rights, Dalit and caste issues; communalism, etc. are widely translated in most Indian languages. Some of the recent titles are: ‘Ambedkar’ in and for the post-Ambedkar Dalit Movement (Sugawa, Pune), Aarthik Sudhar ani dalit Shoshit – Marathi (Prabuddha Bharat, Aurangabad), Globalisation and Dalits (Sanket, Nagpur), Ambedkar on Muslims (VAK, Mumbai – revised edition by Samya, Kolkata) and Hindutva and Dalits (ed.) (Samaya, Kolkata).
