* Description: Enacted by the British in the shadows of the unprecedented defeats in numerous battles at the hands of Indian bravehearts, the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871 declared entire tribes, castes, and communities as “Born Criminals” without any logical procedure or explanation—with the aim to annihilate every existing gene of valour and heroism which had brought upon them heavy losses during the First War of Independence in 1857.
This book dwells upon the insidious nature of this Act and how long-lasting its effects have been. The various mechanisms used to prevent these effects from fading away, such as dehumanization and de-individualization, have been explored and an attempt has been made to bring out the main motive behind enacting the Act. This book also brings to light the heroic deeds of individuals of five of the communities mentioned under this Act, which cost them so dearly.
