Venomous Touch : Notes on Caste, Culture and Politics

Ravikumar\'s irreverent collection of essays provokes and incites the reader to reconsider caste and Indian culture. As a Dalit militant and a civil liberties’ activist, he writes incisively on caste and its discontents, on Dalit militancy, on Dalit intellectuals and offers a controversial critique of the Dravidian movement and its icon, E. V. Ramasamy, to mention just some of the issues.
