Description

Slavery/Gulaamgiri is a seminal work by Jotirao Govindrao Phule, a pioneering social reformer and philosopher of 19th-century India. Originally written in Marathi, this powerful treatise provides a scathing critique of the caste system and its parallels to chattel slavery.

Phule argues that the Brahminical social order enslaves lower castes through systematic oppression, exploitation, and denial of education. Drawing on historical analysis and contemporary observations, he demonstrates how privileged castes maintain dominance through ideological and institutional mechanisms.

The work is revolutionary in its advocacy for the emancipation of oppressed classes through education, social consciousness, and reform. Phule’s arguments laid the foundation for the social justice movements in India and influenced numerous reformers and freedom fighters.

This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House makes this essential text accessible to modern readers, preserving Phule’s legacy as a visionary thinker who challenged feudal and casteist structures centuries before contemporary social movements.
