Description: Filled with the rich and colorful life of an Indian slum and the political currents that swirl around it, this unique autobiography traces the life of an "Untouchable", India's lowest caste. Vasant Moon, an indomitable child grown to courageous reformer and scholar, gives us an intimate glimpse into a world Westerners never see. We see his deep reverence for nature as he makes us feel Nagpur's heat and the joy brought by the monsoon. We suffer the problems faced by Indian women as he quietly honors his mother for her dignified but grinding battle with poverty. We learn about the inescapable hierarchy imposed by caste, based on ancient principles of hereditary pollution, through his participation in the Dalits' battle for equality, rights, and legal and political power. Never bitter or vengeful, Moon offers a moving and eloquent testament to a uniquely Indian life as well as to the universal human spirit.
