The Oxford India Anthology of Telugu Dalit Writing showcases the works of nearly eighty Telugu Dalit writers and public intellectuals. It presents Dalit perspectives on caste oppression, their stinging critique of Hinduism and the Left, and their angst against a social order that relegated them to a life of abject poverty by ignoring their culture, literature, and history. Representing nearly a century of Dalit writing and movements, the thought-provoking selections range from songs and poems to short stories, excerpts from novels, critical writings, and more.
