A review by dipanjali
Untouchable Spring by G. Kalyana Rao, M. Sridhar, Alladi Uma

4.0

Oddly problematic ending, with the convergence of class and caste, but a memorable book if nothing else. The literature surrounding this book was, to me, a little more compelling than the book itself. But the sheer scope of it, and the endeavour of memory and archiving of oral traditions with relations to caste and casteism and marginalization to the point of criminalization in India is enough for me to recommend it for reading to others. This text, much like the rest of the texts in this particular paper's syllabus, started out as a groan and ended as a point of deep interest, for me.
