Synopsis

The Shudras: Vision for a New Path weaves together the multiple dimensions of the predicaments of India's productive castes in the spiritual, social, political, economic, philosophical and historical spheres. It reformulates their current position as well as future pathways. It strives to provoke Shudras all over India to realize their unique historical role in fighting unequal caste structures. It gives a call to barricade Hindutva, in which they have no liberated, equal space with the Dwijas. At a juncture when the Shudra castes are regionalized and the Dwijas have become 'national', this volume seeks to bring home the real picture of their marginalized status in all central structures of the nation. It shows where their real fight lies. As a fifth volume of the Rethinking India series in collaboration with the Samruddha Bharat Foundation, It posits that the emancipation and progress of the Shudras are vital to sustain Ambedkar's constitutional democracy and move towards socio-spiritual equality
