Coming out as Dalit : a memoir of surviving India's caste system / by Dutt, Yashica,author.(CARDINAL)888442;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Early Years -- The Caste System : How It Began -- Education and Financial Strife -- Humiliation in Mussoorie -- The Reality of Untouchability -- The Long Road to St. Stephen's -- The Argument for Reservation -- Culture Cache and Onward to Columbia -- Dalit Movements and Ambedkar's Legacy -- My Introduction to Ambedkar -- Dalit Women's Movements -- The Danger of the Single Narrative -- Silicon Valley, Model Minority, and the Myth of Caste-lessness -- The Reckoning of Caste in Tech."Born into a "formerly untouchable manual-scavenging family in small-town India," Yashica Dutt was taught from a young age to not appear "Dalit looking." Although prejudice against Dalits, who compose 25% of the population, has been illegal since 1950, caste-ism in India is alive and well. Blending her personal history with extensive research and reporting, Dutt provides an incriminating analysis of caste's influence in India over everything from entertainment to judicial systems and how this discrimination has carried over to US institutions. Published in India in 2019 to acclaim, this expanded edition includes 2 new chapters covering how the caste system traveled to the US, its history here, and the continuation of bias by South Asian communities in professional sectors. Amid growing conversations about caste discrimination prompting US institutions including Harvard University, Brandeis University, the University of California system, and the NAACP to add caste as a protected category to their policies, Dutt's work sheds essential light on the significant influence caste-ism has across many aspects of US society." --"For readers of Caste, the coming-of-age story of a Dalit individual that illuminates systemic injustice in India and its growing impact on U.S. society"--

In Sicily, Giulia works in her father's wig workshop, the last of its kind in Palermo. She washes, bleaches, and dyes the hair provided by the city's hairdressers, which is now in short supply. But when her father is the victim of a serious accident, she discovers that the company's financial situation is dire. Now she must find a way to save her family's livelihood. In Canada, Sarah is a successful lawyer and twice-divorced mother of three children whose identity is wrapped up in her work.

Serious men / by Joseph, Manu,author.(CARDINAL)500437;
Ayyan Mani will not be constrained by Indian traditions. Despite working at the Institute of Theory and Research in Mumbai as the lowly personal assistant to a brilliant but insufferable astronomer, he dreams of more for himself and his family. Ever wily and ambitious, Ayyan weaves two plots: the first to cheer up his weary, soap-opera-addicted wife by creating outrageous fictions around their ten-year-old son; the other to sabotage the married director by using his boss's seeming romance with the institute's first female-and very attractive-researcher. Meanwhile, as the institute's Brahmins wage a vicious war over theories about alien life, Ayyan sees his deceptions intertwining and setting in motion a series of extraordinary events he cannot stop. Unfailingly funny and irreverent, Serious Men is at once a hilarious portrayal of runaway egos and ambitions and a moving portrait of love and its strange workings.

The amazing story of the man who cycled from India to Europe for love / by Andersson, Per J.,author.(CARDINAL)342271; Holmwood, Anna,translator.(CARDINAL)342273;
The prophecy -- The transformation -- The long journey -- Homecoming -- Postscript -- PK's acknowledgments -- Photo album."The story begins in a public square in New Delhi. On a cold December evening a young European woman of noble descent appears before an Indian street artist known locally as PK and asks him to paint her portrait--it is an encounter that will change their lives irrevocably. PK was not born in the city. He grew up in a small remote village on the edge of the jungle in East India, and his childhood as an untouchable was one of crushing hardship. He was forced to sit outside the classroom during school, would watch classmates wash themselves if they came into contact with him, and had stones thrown at him when he approached the village temple. According to the priests, PK dirtied everything that was pure and holy. But had PK not been an untouchable, his life would have turned out very differently. This is the remarkable true story of how love and courage led PK to overcome extreme poverty, caste prejudice and adversity--as well as a 7,000-mile, adventure-filled journey across continents and cultures--to be with the woman he loved."--Publisher description.Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, a street artist born untouchable in India's caste system, meets Lotta von Schedvin, a young Swedish woman from a noble family, when she visits New Delhi to have her portrait painted by him. The two fall in love, and PK travels by bicycle for four months and three weeks to reunite with her.
