Overview of A Gardener in the Wasteland: Jotiba Phule's Fight for Liberty Book

In 1873, Jotirao Govindrao Phule wrote Gulamgiri (Slavery), a scathingly witty attack on the vedas being idle fantasies of the brahman mind which enslaved the shudras and atishudras. A hundred and forty years hence, Srividya Natarajan and Aparajita Ninan breathe fresh life into Phule s rather graphic imagination, weaving in the story of Savitribai, Jotiba s partner in his struggles. In today s climate of intolerance, here s a manifesto of resistance. A declaration of war... against Brahmanism, ignorance, injustice Indian Express A Gardener in the Wasteland reveals why Jotiba and Savitribai were so remarkable and remain such potent symbols today India Today A powerfully passionate book that brings smack into the foreground something unequivocally evil Hindustan Times Aparajita Ninan s visual aesthetic is unforgiving: stark yet detailed, compassionate yet divisive Business Standard
