Dalit Consciousness and Christian Conversion

This book illustrates how careful scholarship recognized by the Academy can demonstrate the power of the Gospel to transform individuals and societies . The author’s work is a scholarly resource to all who work with the poor and seek social transformation . The transformation experienced by the poor communities , was often initiated by the Dalits themselves , always owned by them and mostly directed by them . Dalits ‘ empowerment was a result of their appropriation of the Gospel . This is a daring and penetrating study .
