This book illuminates his journey, from the early years in rural Punjab and with Ambedkarites in Pune, to his launching BAMCEF, and eventually the Bahujan Samaj Party in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on myriad oral and written sources, Badri Narayan shows how Kanshiram rouses Dalits' self-respect with his homespun idiom, cycle rallies and, uniquely, the use of local folk myths. In contrast to Ambedkar, who sought to annihilate caste, Kanshiram forged Dalit identity as a source of political empowerment and struck opportunistic alliances with higher-caste parties-a vision that his protégée, Mayawati, continues to pursue. Narayan also describes Kanshiram's extraordinary relationship with Mayawati, right until his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthoritative and insightful, this is a rare portrait of the man who changed the face of dalit society and, indeed, of Indian politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Badri Narayan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19534971732081,"sku":"PRH-702","price":355.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/9780143446651.jpg?v=1542693146"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/badri-narayan\/all-categories_history-politics.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
