Turning the Pot, Tilling the Land: Dignity of Labour in our Times
Ilaiah, Kancha
Turning the Pot, Tilling the Land: Dignity of Labour in our Times - New Delhi Navayana Publication Pvt. Ltd 2022 - 104
Kancha Ilaiah throws light on the science, art and skill of adivasis, cattle-rearers, leatherworkers, potters, farmers, weavers, dhobis and barbers. The book documents the contributions to the betterment of human life by castes and communities despised as ‘lowly’ and ‘backward’.
Recently, students opposed to reservation in educational institutions expressed protest by polishing shoes, sweeping the roads and selling vegetables. Why such resentment against labour? Could these students make shoes or till the land? Could they make a pot? This book—with stunning illustrations by Durgabai Vyam—is the first ever attempt to inculcate a sense of dignity of labour among India’s children.
