Seeking Begumpura: The Social Vision of Anticaste Intellectuals By Gail Omvedt
2008 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 8189059459 | PDF | 16 MB
The bhakti radical Ravidas (c 1450-1520), calling himself a 'tanner now set free', was the first to envision an Indian utopia in his song "Begumpura"-a modern casteless, classless, tax-free city without sorrow. This was in contrast to the dystopia of the brahmanical kaliyuga. Anticaste intellectuals in India posited utopias much before Thomas More, in 1516, articulated a Renaissance humanist version.Gail Omvedt, in this study, focuses on the worldviews of subaltern visionaries spanning five centuries-Chokhamela, Janabai, Kabir, Ravidas, Tukaram, the Kartabhajas, Phule, Iyothee Thass, Pandita Ramabai, Periyar and Ambedkar. She charts the development of their utopian visions and the socioeconomic characteristics of the societies conceived through this long period.
