SynopsisCaste -- the core identity and even a badge of honour for many -- is a matter of daily humiliation and violence for others. As a first-generation Dalit to break out of the stranglehold of poverty and be educated across continents, Suraj Yengde reveals how India's caste system is disturbingly similar to other forms of oppression -- race, class, gender -- that are unwilling to wither away. Drawing on traumatic personal experiences, first-hand testimony and vastly under-reported evidence, Suraj puts forth a trenchant critique of a system that is preventing India from becoming a truly modern nation.
