About The Book

This book provides a profound exploration of the caste-culture within various communities, highlighting the struggles of 18 diverse castes, including Kanjarbhat, Kaikadi, Gopal, and the Laman-Banjara communities. It delves into significant historical events like Latur’s Katti-Hatoda Morcha and the Aurangabad Parishad, showcasing the systemic issues faced by these marginalized groups.

Author Laxman Mane dedicates this work to understanding and analyzing the complex dynamics of caste and community-based struggles, shedding light on the need for social and educational reforms. His efforts to open the ‘closed doors’ of development for these communities are documented through a deeply empathetic and research-driven approach.

While literacy and hope for reform have reached these underdeveloped sections of society, countless questions about their future remain unanswered. This book is an insightful account of the lives of nomadic and marginalized communities, pushing for revolutionary change with empathy and compassion. It is a call to action for collective support from the communities to bring about meaningful transformation.
