Summary: In 1873, Jotirao Govindrao Phule wrote gulamgiri (slavery), a scathing, witty attack on the Vedas as idle fantasies of the Brahman mind which enslaved the shudras and atishudras. A hundred and forty years hence, Srividya Natarajan and Aparajita Ninan breathe fresh life into Phule’s graphic imagination, weaving in the story of Savitribai, Jotiba’s partner in his struggles. In today’s climate of intolerance, Here’s a manifesto of resistance setting the dynamite of thought to the scriptures and ideas Hindus hold dear.
