Description of work:

My work on the Ambedkar movement in Maharashtra has led me into study of 
the current Untouchable and Dalit movements, including Dalit literature 
and the Buddhist Conversion movement. I have also gone back in time to 
the saint-poets of Maharashtra, Eknath of the 16th century and Cokhamela 
and his family of the 14th century. My discipline is history, especially 
social and cultural history.
