Described by Ashis Nandy as the foremost non-Brahmin intellectual to emerge from India’s vast non-English speaking world, DR Nagaraj (1954–1998) was a profound political commentator and cultural critic. Nagaraj’s importance lies in consolidating and advancing some of the ideas of India’s leading Dalit thinker and icon, BR Ambedkar. First published in 1993, this book is a radically expanded version of the original and includes many hitherto unpublished and uncollected essays and lectures by Nagaraj.
