Offering 56 interviews with dalits of Gujarat from a variety of geographical areas, of varying backgrounds, education, gender and identity, this is a path-breaking book that presents voices from below. Dalits in Gujarat face a society that has not experienced any social movements that challenged its traditional social arrangements in comparison with other states in India. Adding further stress are globalisation and the growing strength of Hindutva -- right wing Hindu politics. Even so these interviews reveal that dalits have undertaken journeys to self-respect. The subaltern has indeed spoken freely here.
