![]() ![]() But isn't survival the first and a very important step? Some adapt, some hide, others strategically exploit the system to address some immediate needs. What I find a bit harsh is the classification of Dalits, and all the groups seem to fall insufficient in Yengde's views towards making a change in the system. The author's lived experience automatically leads to a very justifiable criticism of the diaspora that sticks to the sickening formulae that they exported with themselves, along with a condescending refusal to see caste. And I wish I had read them through my school years. Some of the poets cited are indeed rich literature. The book could have foregrounded a lot more younger culture figures that Yengde seems to follow on social media but hasn't specifically named. My reading experience was a slightly tedious with the tone being above all academic, but the heavy referencing means that my next read will be Anand Teltumbde. This is a first book and I hope there's much more to come.įoreword by Cornel West is worth every word where there is an evident link established with the struggles happening around the world, and why they can sustain each other. ![]()
