(The Author) is perhaps
the Booker T. Washington
of the (Untouchable)
Dalits, attacking caste
by disproving its
premise – by rising
within, not outside the
system…… Just as
Washington once advised
African-Americans, (the
Author) today counsels
Dalits to rise by
educating themselves,
not by waiting for
emancipation.
