The text situates Kamble in Maharashtra’s radical leadership inspired by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, and introduces the activist and academic Maya Pandit, who translated and contextualized the work. It explains linguistic choices between dialectal Marathi and formal political language, highlights the added final chapter and a long interview, and outlines themes of women, patriarchy, family, violence, and the struggles of Dalit women in articulating lived experiences.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBaby Kamble lives in Phaltan, a small town in the Satara district of Maharashtra. She is a veteran of the Dalit movement in Maharashtra. Inspired by the radical leadership of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, she has been involved with the struggle from a very young age. She has established a government approved residential school for socially backward students in Nimbure, a small village near Phaltan. She has been honoured with awards for her literary and social work. Collections of her poetry have also been published.  \nMaya Pandit is an activist who is involved with the womens and teachers’movements in Maharashtra for the last two decades.

It gives me great pleasure to have been able to make this book available to readers of English.  \nTranslating these memoirs has not been easy. Baby Kamble uses the dialectal Marathi of the Mahars living around Phaltan—a small town in Satara district of Maharashtra—while writing about the life of her community, and a standard and more formal language for discussing political developments. 􀀈e dialectal Marathi comes alive with live cadences, subtle humour and varied tonal patterns. I am aware that much of that flavour is probably lost in translation.  \n􀀈e last chapter in this translation is an addition and is being published for the first time. Many details of Baby Kamble’s growth as an activist are recorded in this chapter. Another distinctive feature of this work is a long interview with Baby Kamble, where she discusses her personal life and work, and raises many issues related to women and patriarchy, family and violence, problems encountered by Dalit women in the articulation of their experiences and in political struggles.  \nDuring the course of this translation, I have received help from many quarters.
