Einleitungssatz
We are forced to come out with this document because we want to expose a closely guarded secret, kept by the Ruling Class of India which forms a mere 10 per cent of its 800-odd million population living in grinding poverty, misery, squalor and disease.

As a person who has long been interested in Asian minorities, I was looking forward to reading this book and learning about the Indian untouchables. Unfortunately, the book is very short (about fifty pages, if you don't count the prefaces and appendixes) and even so, the author keeps saying the same thing over and over. He never does quite get around to giving a very clear picture of the Dalits. Nor do I feel certain that what he does say is very reliable, since he has not defined his terms well or otherwise shown himself capable of making an objectively satisfying argument. For example, he repeatedly claims that the Hindu Scriptures justify racial oppression. I keep waiting for him to quote them and prove his point, but he never does.
The present edition also makes attempts to relate the untouchables of India to the plight of African Americans. American injustice is of course a worthwhile topic. But as the author is not an authority on it, and as it not the subject I wanted to learn about when I ordered the book, I would rather the editors tell us more about the Dalits before making parallels with other races. Nor did I find the author's attacks on Indian Marxists or Mahatma Gandhi persuasive or relevent.
I have no fondness for Brahmidic Hinduism, and I don't doubt that the untouchables of India have been and perhaps still are terribly oppressed. I wish the author well in his attempts to obtain justice for his people. I suggest he find a writer who can make the case for his people more clearly and persuasively, however. In the meanwhile,if anyone knows of a really good book on the topic, I would like to hear about it.

This book revealed to me something that very few people in the world know about. By reading this book one can become aware of the suffering of the dalit and dark skinned people of the world. I hope that everyone takes the time to read this book.

Short, rambling, and poorly written.

Captivating lecture for all TRUTH SEEKERS !!!!

Von Man's eternal quest for TRUTH !!!!
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
A wonderful and inspiring book.
I have personally ventured to the east and affiliated myself with the Dalit group. They are a people who look towards black America and Africa in particular for inspiration and guidance.
I have also been so surprised to learn, that this socially oppressed group
consider themselves as being the founding fathers of ancient Indian civilization; which was later invaded by Aryans (Europeans).
One final thing to state: The women amongst this group are some of the most adorably and captivating beauties that I have ever set eyes upon !!

Dalits

The Dalits are in fact of the same race as other Blacks in other parts of the world, the only difference is culture. The Dalits & Dravidians descend from the African regions of Sudan, Ethiopia and from the Bushman tribe Khoisan and some other areas. Places like China, Japan etc all descend from the Khoisan tribe. People need to know the truth, Africans populated this world long before others even existed, with that, civilization was brought forth and that's why scientists do their best to use genetic diversity/variation to trick ppl into believing that people who are genetically different are not of the same race. It's why they perpetuate the lie of back migration because they can't stand to know that they had nothing to do with civilization; they came on the tail end and that's the bottom line. Good book. Go get Runoko Rashidi's book as well. The truth is always harder to accept when you've been dealt lies your whole life.
