Dalit Women's Education in Modern India

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on marginalized Dalit women in modern Maharashtra, this book explores the complex social, economic, and political factors influencing their educational opportunities. By challenging the prevailing narrative of modern secular education, it highlights the unique experiences, aspirations, and struggles of Dalit women, who have been largely overlooked in historical discussions. Shailaja Paik positions these women as historical agents, addressing significant gaps in both Indian historiography and the women's movement.
