Description
Slavery/Gulaamgiri is a seminal work by Jotirao Govindrao Phule that presents a scathing critique of the caste system in India. Originally written in Marathi, this influential text argues that the lower castes have been systematically enslaved by brahminical society, experiencing oppression comparable to slavery in other parts of the world.
Phule meticulously examines how upper castes have maintained their dominance through social, religious, and economic mechanisms, deliberately keeping lower castes in servitude and ignorance. He advocates for universal education as the primary tool for liberation and social transformation.
This revolutionary work challenges brahminical ideology and calls for the establishment of a just society based on equality and human dignity. Gulaamgiri remains a cornerstone text in Indian social reform movements and continues to inspire scholars, activists, and reformers working toward social justice and the eradication of caste-based discrimination.
