The Quest For Freedom & Dignity: Caste, Conversion & Cultural Revolution [Jan 01, 2001] Vishal Mangalwadi

Mangalwadi is an expert in this field, and a personal friend of leaders in the Dalit movement. In fact, Ram Raj writes the introductory material to the book. Mangalwadi writes as an insider, who has lived what he writes. This is a powerful and compelling account of the role of Christianity in India in bringing options of dignity and liberation to the India people. Mangalwadi writes as a scholar in his own right, but not over the head of the interested layperson. Included are many stories to illustrate the concepts he lays out. I highly recommend this book
