Mahad: The Making of the First Dalit Revolt with the Account of Comrade R.B. More, The Chief Organizer of the First Conference

 
Anand Teltumbde (Author)
Synopsis

Mahad has an iconic place in Dalit universe. Associated with legendary personality of Dr. Ambedkar, the struggle of Dalits at Mahad for asserting their rights to access the public tank, the Chavadar tank, arguably ranks among the first civil rights struggles in History.

Unfortunately it remained largely confined to folklore, its detailed account still remaining fragmented and in mostly Marathi. This book provides a comprehensive account, using many sources including the archival materials, of the two conferences in Mahad in 1927 that marks the beginning of the Dalit movement under Babasaheb Ambedkar to a wider readership in English. It tries to frame it within its historical context which will help people comprehend its historical significance. It also seeks to draw certain lessons for the future course of the Dalit movement.

The book additionally contains the original account of Comrade R.B. More the organizer of the first conference at Mahad.

About the author

Anand Teltumbde

Dr. Anand Teltumbde, the author of this book represents the best combination of scholarship, activism and commitment to the cause of suffering people. He has been associated with Human Rights movements and various peoples’ struggles since his student days. He perhaps carries the unique legacy of legendary Prof. D.D. Kosambi, insofar as being an outstanding scholar in his own fields – Technology, Management, and Cybernetics; he is making original contributions to various aspects of theory and practice of peoples’ movements. He has already made a mark as a keen student of the Left movements and radical interpreter of Ambedkar. His books and writings on globalization, human rights, Dalit and caste issues; communalism, etc. are widely translated in most Indian languages. Some of the recent titles are: ‘Ambedkar’ in and for the post-Ambedkar Dalit Movement (Sugawa, Pune), Aarthik Sudhar ani dalit Shoshit – Marathi (Prabuddha Bharat, Aurangabad), Globalisation and Dalits (Sanket, Nagpur), Ambedkar on Muslims (VAK, Mumbai – revised edition by Samya, Kolkata) and Hindutva and Dalits (ed.) (Samaya, Kolkata).
