This week's reading list features a searing autobiography by Sushila Takbhaure, a Dalit woman detailing her struggle against caste and patriarchy. Her memoir, 'My Shackled Life,' chronicles her journey from poverty and social stigma to becoming a teacher, scholar, and activist for Ambedkar's ideals. Takbhaure highlights how Dalit women face oppression from both upper castes and their own communities, advocating education, self-respect, and solidarity as tools for liberation. The list also includes a book on the contested Keeladi excavation.
