Their story has rarely been told. This remarkable book achieves something altogether unprecedented: it gives voice to India's voiceless. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eUntouchables, \u003c\/i\u003e Narendra Jadhav tells the awe-inspiring story of his family's struggle for equality and justice in India. While most Dalits had accepted their lowly position as fate, Jadhav's father rebelled against the oppressive caste system and fought against all odds to forge for his children a destiny that was never ordained. \u003cbr\u003e Based on his father's diaries and family stories, Jadhav has written the triumphant story of his parents -- their great love, unwavering courage, and eventual victory in the struggle to free themselves and their children from the caste system. Jadhav vividly brings his parents' world to light and unflinchingly documents the life of untouchables -- the hunger, the cruel humiliations, the perpetual fear and brutal abuse. \u003cbr\u003e Compelling and deeply compassionate, \u003ci\u003eUntouchables\u003c\/i\u003e is a son's tribute to his parents, an illuminating chronicle of one of the most important moments in Indian history, and an eye-opening work of nonfiction that gives readers access and insight into the lives of India's 165 million Dalits, whose struggle for equality continues even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Narendra Jadhav\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743270793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJadhav, Narendra:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eNarendra Jadhav\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Mumbai, India, in 1953.
