"Dalit Solidarity holds the key to the realisation of what our corporate social responsibility will be, at a period in global history in which the sway of social and religious ideologies nurtured in diverse cultures have begun to lose their hold and we are moving into an era in which alternate formations and structures built upon tested common experiences, values and norms are allowed to develop."

Thus was launched the Dalit Solidarity Programme, in 1992 unique and different from other Dalit Movements. It was for the first time in the history of India that Dalits from different regions of India belonging to different castes, professing different religions-Buddhism. Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism assembled at one place to discuss the problems common to them all, and resolved to work together for complete liberation, to unite the divided and dispirited and to acquire a new identity and to live in dignity.

This book discusses the problems affecting the Dalits in a frank and fearless manner. The book will also conscientize the Dalits for a better understanding of the hopes and aspiration of the Dalits.
