I am trying to get an understanding of it. Ranagankayammas book is a
critical review of Ambedkars publications on the question, Ambedkar
attempts to explain Sati in the terms I mentioned.

Hi Paul C:
A few days ago you asked about the tradition of Sati ("widow
immolation") and now are asking about the condition of dalits
("outcastes"). But, wasn't sati primarily an upper-caste tradition?
I don't really grasp yet what you are trying to comprehend. What
is the context for your recent questions on caste?
In solidarity, Jerry
> Why have the political measures - special representation in parliament
etc, failed to uplift the dalits?
