hi udhay, if i remember correctly, in the introduction to the Ethnicity and Populist Mobilization book, the author mentions that her parents (or perhaps other close members of the family) were actively involved in the dalit movement. and that in the course of his research many of the people he interviewed remembered him as the son of their comrade/fellow traveler. so his parents must have been your uncle/aunt? do you remember talking to them about their political activism? abhishek On Dec 14, 2007 1:17 PM, Udhay Shankar N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ashok _ wrote [at 12:35 PM 12/14/2007] : > > >You mentioned that narratives for "mochis", "darjis" and "chamars" dont > exist. > >Isnt that a flimsy presumption ?
