Ambedkar’s teachings, Damu stands against the Police and the caste system. The story begins in the 1930s when Damu, the protagonist of the story, is continuously addressed as “Mahar” in his ancestral village in Western Maharashtra where caste determined one’s destiny. At one level, it is a tribute from a son to his father while on the other hand, it is the story of the Dalits through three generations. Outcaste: A Memoir is an adaptation by Narendra Jadhav, from his own Marathi best-seller Amcha Bap Aan Amhi (Our Father and Us). He has also served many international assignments with IMF. He is presently the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Pune and the Head of the Department of Economic Analysis & Policy at the Reserve Bank of India. Narendra Jadhav is a well-known economist, public speaker and a social worker.
