Encyclopaedia of Dalits In India (Struggle For Self Liberation) Vol-2 

Dalits or the downtrodden have been referred to in history, as people, without history of their own, which certainly is untrue and illogical, not with standing the fact that they have been a marginalised lot in their own land, and treated as mere objects. Even scholars and academics have treated them as subjects for their research in social sciences, anthropology and philanthrophy. Hence there are very few objective studies or works of worth in this discipline. This research-based, extensive, comprehensive, authentic and analytical series is a merited endeavour in order to fill the gap. The Encyclopaedia is divided into eleven volumes, in a logical and issue based order, with almost all related and relevant issues covered, extensively. And that makes these volumes a must for all scholars and researchers, engaged in the areas concerned.
