@npr: Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada is part anthology, part cookbook and part rebuke to readers, who may presume Indian food is largely vegetarian. It tells of the culinary traditions of two groups of Dalits, known as Mang and Mahar. Dalits, broadly, occupy the lowest rungs of South Asia's ancient caste system and were once known as untouchables. They also form a sizable minority: around a fifth to a quarter of India’s estimated 1.4 billion people. Yet this is a rare book, perhaps the first published in English about Dalit culinary traditions by a person of Dalit caste. #NPR
