Khandit Akhyan: Bharatiya Jantantra Mein Adrishya Log, Narayan Badri

Fractured Tales documents narratives of the voiceless and invisible dalit castes that have been left out in the 60 years of state-led Indian democracy. Exploring the deepening of democracy among the dalits of Uttar Pradesh, it argues that the process of democratization of these communities
over-represents some groups such as the Chamars and Pasis while neglecting others like the Musahar, Bansphor, and Sapera communities. These invisible communities are unable to assert their presence in the ever-evolving political contestation between multiple marginal groups. Delving into the
politics of visibility, empowerment, and exclusion, the author captures the growing sense of disillusionment among marginalized dalit communities. This is the Hindi edition translated from English.
