The Untouchables: who were they and why they became Untouchables In this book Dr. Ambedkar presents his conclusions that are the result of such historical research as he has been able to make. It contains the novel thesis that comprises the following propositions and his explanation of the same and evidence as to how he arrived at them: (1) There is no racial difference between the Hindus and the Untouchables (2) The distinction between the Hindus and Untouchables in its original form, before the advent of Untouchability, was the distinction between Tribesmen and Broken Men from alien Tribes. It is the Broken Men who subsequently came to be treated as Untouchables (3) Just as Untouchability has no racial basis so also has it no occupational basis (4) There are two roots from which Untouchability has sprung: (a) Contempt and hatred of the Broken Men as of Buddhists by the Brahmins (b) Continuation of beef-eating by the Broken Men after it had been given up by others. (5) In searching for the origin of Untouchability care must be taken to distinguish the Untouchables from the Impure. All orthodox Hindu writers have identified the Impure with the Untouchables. This is an error. Untouchables are distinct from the Impure. (6) While the Impure as a class came into existence at the time of the Dharma Sutras the Untouchables came into being much later than 400 A.D This book is a a must for those who are from the community, and also for allies in the anti-caste struggle. To know who we are, and why we became the untouchables is very crucial, if not, the most crucial element needed to break our shackles and emancipate ourselves.

[Telugu] - Ramunni krishnuni rahasyalu (రాముని కృష్ణుని రహస్యాలు)
RAMUNNI KRISHNUNI RAHASYALU Ramayana is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient Indian history, the other being the Mahabharata. Ramayana, traditionally ascribed to the Maharishi Valmiki, narrates the life of Rama, a legendary prince of Ayodhya city in the kingdom of Kosala. Mahabharata depicts the story of Lord Srikrishna and Kurukshetra battle. Earlier, multiple writers made critical comments and analysis on these epics. Telugu writer Ranganayakamma's criticism of Ramayana, Mahabharatha and Vedas is very popular in the literary field. However, DR B R Ambedkar also made a critical analysis of these epics. Ambedkar made comments on the conduct of the heroes of the Indian epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Rama and Krishna, in a very hurting manner. When it was published in 1988, there was huge opposition to this book. In the book, Ambedkar criticizes the characters of Lord Srirama and Lord Sri Krishna. రాముని కృష్ణుని రహస్యాలు రామాయణం, మహాభారతం.. ఈ రెండు గ్రంధాలను మన దేశం లో గొప్ప గ్రంధాలు గా కీర్తిస్తారు. ఈ రోజుకి కూడా ఎన్నో సార్లు, రాయాణ మాహాభారత గ్రంధాలని, అందులో ని కథలని ఉదహరిస్తూ మనం జీవనం సాగిస్తాము. అయితే ఈ రెండు గ్రంధాలని విమర్శించే వారు సైతం లేకపోరు. రంగనాయకమ్మ వంటి వారు రామాయణం, మహాభారతం మరియు వేదాల పై చేసిన విమర్శ పెద్ద ఎత్తున దుమారం రేగిన సంగతి మన అందరికి తెలిసిందే. అలాగే రాజ్యాంగ రూపకర్త అంబేద్కర్ కూడా రామాయణ-మహాభారతాల పై విమర్శనాస్త్రాలు గుప్పించారు. 'రిడిల్స్ ఇన్ హిందూయిజమ్' అనే పేరు తో అంబేద్కర్ చేసిన రచన అప్పట్లో పెద్ద సంచలనమే రేపింది. అయితే ఈ గ్రంథంలోని ఒక వ్యాసాన్ని 'రాముని కృష్ణుని రహస్యాలు' పేరిట హైదరాబాద్ బుక్ ట్రస్ట్ తెలుగులో ప్రచురించింది. ఇందులో అంబేద్కర్ రాముని, మరియు కృష్ణుని యొక్క వ్యక్తిత్వాన్ని ఉదాహరణలు ఇస్తూ విమర్శిస్తాడు. రాముని పాత్ర చాలా నిస్సారమయిందనే వాదన తో పాటు కృష్ణుడి కుటిల నీతిని అంబేద్కర్ ఈ పుస్తకం లో ప్రస్తావించారు. అయితే ఆయన చేసిన వ్యాఖ్యానాలన్నీ ఈ దేశం లో అనేకమంది మనోభావాల్ని దెబ్బ తీసే విధం గా ఉండడం తో అనేక మంది దీనిని నిషేధించాలి అని పిలుపునిచ్చారు కూడా.
