The Centre for Policy Research (CPR) invites you to a virtual book discussion on: Makers of Modern Dalit History by Sudarshan Ramabadran and Guru Prakash Paswan

About the Discussion
‘Makers of Modern Dalit History’ features several inspiring accounts of individuals who tirelessly battled divisive forces all their lives. Based on historical and contemporary figures such as B.R. Ambedkar, Babu Jagjivan Ram, Gurram Jashuva, K.R. Narayanan, Soyarabai, and Rani Jhalkaribai, among many others, this book is a significant addition to the Dalit discourse. ‘Makers of Modern Dalit History’ promises to initiate a much-needed conversation around Dalit identity, history, and politics.

This panel discussion with the authors and academics will reflect on ‘Makers of Modern Dalit History’ and its contribution to the emerging canon of Dalit literature.
