Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada: Anna He Apoorna Brahma - Gyrugram, Haryana HarperCollins 2024 - 357

A landmark publication in Marathi, Shahu Patole's book documents Dalit food history through the culinary practices of two Maharashtrian communities - Mahar and Mang. Fashioned as a memoir with recipes, it explores the politics of maintaining social divisions through food along with a commentary on caste-based discrimination - what food is sattvic (pure) or rajasic (fit for a king), what is tamasic (sinful) and why.
