DALIT PANTHERS AN AUTHORITATIVE HISTORY
by J.V. Pawar
Telugu translation : Dalit Panthers charitra
The Dalit Panthers movement was one that shook India in the seventies. It inspired Dalits, the Left and youth due to its imaginative choice and methods of protest and broad range of activity.
JV Pawar in conversation with Bezwada Wilson.
About Speakers:-

In addition, he had access to the government of Maharashtra archives, including both police as well as intelligence reports on the Panthers during its short existence. Pawar is both a novelist (author of Balidaan) and a poet and this book, apart from being a history of the movement, discusses its weaknesses. There are many valuable lessons for all Bahujan and Left activists.
