Summary:

This book explores the development and challenges of Dalit theology, a form of liberation theology that addresses the systemic caste-based oppression of Dalits in India. Drawing from biblical perspectives, postcolonial studies, and the voices of marginalized Dalit communities, the author critically examines the genealogy of Dalit theology and its intersections with Indian socio-political contexts. The work highlights the influence of historical figures like Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and reimagines theological discourse by incorporating forgotten Dalit voices. It also critiques dominant caste ideologies and the role of religious institutions in perpetuating caste-based inequalities. The book is aimed at scholars, theologians, and readers interested in social justice, liberation theology, and postcolonial studies. Generated by AI.
