Why I am Not a Hindu : A Sudra critique of Hindutva philosophy, culture and political economy - 2nd ed. - Calcuttta Samya 2005 - xii, 161 pages ; 23 cm

In this manifesto for the downtrodden, the author examines the socio-economic and cultural differences between the Dalitbahujans (the majority, the so-called low castes) and other Hindus in the contexts of childhood, family life, market relations, power relations, Gods and Goddesses, death and, not least, Hindutva (ideology of the Hindu Right).
