Caste -- the core identity and even a badge of honour for many -- is a matter of daily humiliation and violence for others. As a first-generation Dalit to break out of the stranglehold of poverty and be educated across continents, Suraj Yengde reveals how India's caste system is disturbingly similar to other forms of oppression -- race, class, gender -- that are unwilling to wither away. Drawing on traumatic personal experiences, first-hand testimony and vastly under-reported evidence, Suraj puts forth a trenchant critique of a system that is preventing India from becoming a truly modern nation.

Love after Babel is a brilliant new poetry collection by Dalit poet Chandramohan S, a highly charged political treatise. Chandramohan's position as a Dalit writer illuminates his treatment of caste-based oppression, while also creating a sense of radical solidarity between various marginalized identities in contemporary Indian society through his focus on other forms of oppression, namely on experiences of Islamophobia, gender based violence and racism. It is an active political tool to counter multiple forms of oppression in India and across the world.
