About the Book
Depressed Deities: Aching Subjects in Akkarmashiis a critical reception of the Indian Dalit classical autobiography of Sharankumar Limbale, The Outcaste (2003), which is an English translation of Akkarmashi (originally written in Marathi) by Santosh Bhoomkar. This book examines several significant aspects of the text prominent among which are the predicament of the ostracized community and the lives of the subjugated female characters. The discussion included in this work widens the scope for researchers to explore many uncharted dimensions in the field of the Dalit studies.
