Description
The book is of social relevance- ‘Ambedkar Movement and the organisation of untouchables in Hyderabad Province’. In the light of the social ethos, publicity and spread, obstacles, fears, principles of Ambedkarite movement, the writer has tried to throw some light on how the untouchable organisation and movement took shape and the values behind it. Were the tactics used by the Congress to make the Ambedkar movement inoperative, used by the Hyderabad state Congress too to stop the untouchables movement in the province? The Hyderabad Mukti Sangram started on 15 August 1947 and ended on 17 September 1947 after the police action. The struggle by the State Congress during this period against the Nizam Government and Razakars (Nizam State Islam semi Military Organisation), came to be called “Hyderabad Mukti Morcha”. What share did the Untouchables have in this struggle? What was their role? Why did the Hyderabad State Congress not include the Untouchable in the national freedom struggle? Did the social and political outlook of the State Congress change? Which programmes or schemes did the state government run for the upliftment of the Untouchables? Did the State Congress believe in freedom, equality, liberalism, personal liberty, humane values etc.? Did the State Congress believe in social status to the untouchables? Untouchables participated in State Congress’s satyagragh and Vande Mataram movements; but did the State Congress recognize them as freedom fighters? Despite being part of the Razakars, few Untouchables saved Hindu women from their modesty being outraged by the Razakars; what would the State Congress call them, freedom fighters or Razakars? The Muslims or the Razakars would do social and religious injustice to the untouchables; did the social activists or people of the same class, who were part of the State Congress involved in the national movement, take steps for the protection of the victimised people.
