Hindi Dalit Literature in the United Provinces
Swami Acchutanand and Chandrika Prasad Jigyasu, 1900-1930
Description
This introduction to the Dalit public sphere in the United Provinces in the early decades of the 20th century focuses on the growth of a Hindi Dalit literary culture at its formative stage.
Tracking the development of the Dalit print culture during the 1920s and the 1930s, this book centres on the figures of Swami Acchutanand and Chandrikaprasad Jigyasu, anti-caste intellectuals, and the most eminent figures in the Hindi Dalit world of letters during that era, ultimately rescuing them from undeserved obscurity and according them the importance that they merit in the Dalit cultural movement in North India.
