UP AGAINST CASTE: Comparative Study of Ambedkar and Periyar (Revised Second Edition)
The struggle for social justice and human rights in India is inextricably linked to the question of caste and the continuing caste-based social structure.
Struggles against caste and the caste system have a long history. In modern times the contributions of B.R. Ambedkar and E.V. Ramasami (popularly known as Periyar) are particularly significant. Ambedkar, hailing from an untouchable caste background, was the pioneer in teaching the untouchables the art of using political weapons for the betterment of their conditions. Through his scholarly works and social and political struggles, Ambedkar challenged the Brahminical order of society and sought to uphold the basic human rights of the depressed classes. E.V. Ramasami’s contributions were no less significant. The imprints of his struggles are to be found in the social and political spheres of the Tamil region in southern India. His challenge to Brahminism was sought to be posited through an alternative, democratic culture. The book presents a unique comparative discourse on the ideas of Ambedkar and Periyar.

This book critically examines the development of psychology discipline in India over the last century. Six chapters in the book contemplate how ancient and modern psychology will be assimilated in coming decades. The larger debate is about rendering discipline more socially viable and relevant for nation-building.
