X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Dr. Anand Teltumbde\, a leading civil righ
 ts activist\, public intellectual\, authour and professor of business analy
 tics argues that caste and class is a duality which has killed a potential 
 revolution in India\, dragging India into a socio-political morass. While c
 astes have been the lifeworld of people\, as a system their attributes have
  undergone change due to political and economic transformations in the subc
 ontinent throughout history. The discourse of class that arose with the adv
 ent of communism missed this fundamental reality of Indian society and gave
  rise to this duality. The anti-caste movement articulated by the Dalits\, 
 in response\, was alienated from this discourse and went on a<br />divergen
 t path.<br />Dr. Teltumbde will present the historical backdrop to the curr
 ent problem that afflicts the struggles of Dalits and the Left and discuss 
 strategies to overcome it.</p><h2><a href="https://sppga.cms.arts.ubc.ca/wp
