About this book - Brahmanvad Ki Aad Me Gulamgiri translated as "Slavery in the Shadow of Brahmanism" is a book that critiques the socio-religious structure of Brahmanism and its impact on societal inequality, particularly caste-based oppression. The title suggests that the book focuses on how Brahmanical ideology has been used to justify and perpetuate systems of exploitation, particularly against lower castes in India. Some highlight points of this book are as follows - Caste-based Oppression, Religious Justification, Resistance and Reform, Critique of Hegemony. The book probably critiques the intellectual and cultural dominance of Brahmanism, particularly how it has affected the politics, economy, and education systems. The purpose of this introduction to the book, written by Phule in English, is only to convey the essence of slavery – that is, that the Shudras and Atishudras have been enslaved (mentally) by the Brahmins and they have been exploiting them since time immemorial and this The trend continued even under 'civilised' British rule - there was no submission. The kind of terminology and quotations used in it and the manner in which events and personalities from Western history and culture are referred to, it seems that its purpose was to convey to the British and educated Indians that after all, it was connected with the common people. There is an educated Shudra in front of them, who can present the public's views in front of the world.
