5.0 out of 5 starsThis book must be read!
By Ms. N. I. Paterson on 12 April 2008
Format: Paperback
This book is in turns compelling, harrowing and inspirational. Valerie Mason-John explains the history and background of Hinduism and the caste system. 'Untouchable' or Dalit people are not even in the caste system; they are viewed as dirty, and only worthy of the most demeaning, filthy work.

In India, men are valued more than women, so Dalit women are the lowest of the low. Violence and rape against them are routinely ignored or dismissed by the authorities; the police are generally corrupt and of a higher caste. But some women have transcended their place in society and converted to Buddhism - there is always the possibility of change and hope for the future.

Valerie Mason-John explains it all in a clear and balanced way. If you are interested in the history of India, Hinduism, Buddhism, Dr Ambedkar or the human spirit, read this book. I can't recommend it highly enough. Buy this book!

HASH(0x9395ebf4) out of 5 stars Conversion to Buddhism and Liberation of Dalit Women 8 April 2014
By Toshikazu ARAI - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book contains a number of statements by Dalit women who have been subjected to terrible discrimination, humiliation and maltreatment. Many of the women speaking out indicate that through conversion to Buddhism they have gained self-confidence and freed themselves from the caste mentality. Some of them have established themselves as successful business women or government employees and have begun to undertake various projects for helping fellow Dalit women establish independence from servitude to their husbands, upper caste Hindus, and exploiting employers.
