A Gardener in the Wasteland
 
In 1873, Jotirao Govindrao Phule wrote gulamgiri (slavery), a scathing, witty attack on the Vedas as idle fantasies of the Brahman mind which enslaved the shudras and atishudras. A hundred and forty years hence, Srividya Natarajan and Aparajita Ninan breathe fresh life into Phule�s graphic imagination, weaving in the story of Savitribai, Jotiba�s partner in his struggles. In today�s climate of intolerance, Here�s a manifesto of resistance setting the dynamite of thought to the scriptures and ideas Hindus hold dear.
