From Karukku, the autobiography of a Tamil Dalit woman COMMINTARY & TRANSLATION BY LAKSHMI HOLMSTROM
Abstract
The word 'Dalit' is from the Marathi, literally 'crushed' or 'ground down'; tits the name that the former 'Untouchables' have preferred to the more patronizing name that Gandhi gave them, Harijan or people of God.
