"After Centuries of slavery, apartheid and ethnocide, the silence is broken. One hundred million Dalits in India, the twentieth century's largest, most repressed minority, cry out for the ear of the world. Who are the Dalit? What does it mean to be treated as an 'untouchable'? Who were their fair-skinned Aryan conquerors, the creators of the caste system still in operation in India today? What is the relation between Hindu Brahminism, the modern Nazi doctrine of Aryan supremacy, and the colonial U.S. and South African doctrine of 'white nationalism' and white superiority? Why do many consider Mahatma Gandhi, who labelled them 'the harjan' (the children of God), their enemy?" - From the back cover of the third edition.
