Description

Translated from the Marathi by Gail Omvedt, Growing Up Untouchable in India is the first Dalit autobiography to be published in English. Moon s story is about his vasti, or neighborhood, and a community of people considered to be at the bottom of the caste hierarchy. It reveals a complex yet rich slum culture where Dalits are not seen merely as victims but as a community with strong bonds, striving and struggling to shed their sense of inferiority. The book provides an insider s insight into the struggles, pain, joys, and victories of people in the vasti where Moon grew up. Though this is the story of Moon s life, it develops into a rich narrative about the social and political history of the time. The story of an individual and a community has been woven into the larger realm of Indian politics, providing the readers a rare view of the events that led up to Independence.
