R. Ambedkar spent his life battling Untouchability and instigating the end of the caste system. In his 1948 book The Untouchables, he sought to trace the origin of the Dalit caste. Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men is an annotated selection from this work, just as relevant now, when the oppression of and discrimination against Dalits remains pervasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmbedkar offers a deductive, and at times a speculative, history to propose a genealogy of Untouchability. He contends that modern-day Dalits are descendants of those Buddhists who were fenced out of caste society and rendered Untouchable by a resurgent Brahminism since the fourth century BCE. The Brahmins, whose Vedic cult originally involved the sacrifice of cows, adapted Buddhist ahimsa and vegetarianism to stigmatize outcaste Buddhists who were consumers of beef. The outcastes were soon relegated to the lowliest of occupations and prohibited from participation in civic life. To unearth this lost history, Ambedkar undertakes a forensic examination of a wide range of Brahminic literature. Heavily annotated with an emphasis on putting Ambedkar and recent scholarship into conversation, Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men assumes urgency as India witnesses unprecedented violence against Dalits and Muslims in the name of cow protection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Navayana","offers":[{"title":"599 Edition","offer_id":41496262606883,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"699 Edition","offer_id":41496262639651,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/products\/Beef-Brahmins-and-Broken-Men-9788189059965-front-cover.png?v=1590319512"},{"product_id":"no-laughing-matter-the-ambedkar-cartoons-1932-to-1956","title":"No Laughing Matter: The Ambedkar Cartoons, 1932 To 1956","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis history like no other asks you to consider what you are laughing at.

The one-act Ghotbhar Pani (A Sip of Water), performed over 3,000 times, fuses a folk idiom with absurdist, nameless characters; the Greek tragedy-like Kirwant explores the plight of a sub-caste of untouchable brahmins who are despised for performing death rites; and Gandhi Ambedkar stages the clash between two titans mediated by an irreverential, imaginary, interstitial clown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Navayana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32073032859683,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/products\/51xl769ZyLL._SX351_BO1_204_203_200.jpg?v=1590321116"},{"product_id":"borders-and-boundaries-women-in-indias-partition","title":"Borders And Boundaries: Women In India's Partition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1947 India was simultaneously freed and divided.
