Lastly, the most important question, has the untouchable leadership failed?.

Do the upper caste politicians and bureaucrats treat them with contempt and try to suppress them?.

Do their untouchable brethren trust them and how are they paying back to their community?.

Do they adhere and are true to the Ambedkarian teachings of action to which they have vowed?.

What are their set of values and expectations?.

The book is an attempt to seek the following key issues pertaining to political culture of the untouchable leaders including MLAs, MPs and bureaucrats: Untouchables perceive their politicians (MLAs, MPs, bureaucrats, social organizations) as their savior, who will liberate them from the shackles of bondage and deprivation. Quite a few researches, books and essays covering this topic of crisis of untouchables leadership have been published in recent years, but they lack the genuine efforts to seek truth. Even though many untouchables, as a consequence, have reached at the position of power and prominence, particularly in the political arena, a vast majority of them continue to suffer discrimination, poverty and humiliation, and are often targets of inhuman atrocities. However, in recent times they have begun to assert themselves and have launched socio-cultural and political movements aimed at ushering in a new social order based on the principles of equality and liberty. The Untouchables, from time immemorial, have been socially and economically oppressed, culturally subjugated and politically marginalized.
