Beschrijving Untouchables - My Family's Triumphant Escape from India Castle System

For thousands of years the untouchables, or Dalits, the people at the bottom of the Hindu caste system, have been treated as subhuman. This book tells the story of the author's family's struggle for equality and justice in India. It documents the lives of untouchables - the hunger, the cruel humiliations, the perpetual fear, and the brutal abuse.
