~ It is widely known fact that Dalits have far less opportunities than others. In spite of all this, I still have never witnessed a Dalit denying space to any Savarna researcher - right from colonial researchers to Indian Savarnas like Srinivas to Beteille, to the second rung Ivy league graduates or so-called intellectuals of today. It is therefore absurd on the part of some of these Savarna researchers to say subaltern subjectivity can never be excuse enough for intellectual bullying, referring to the Dalit objections over the book. Neither the upper caste Savarna authors have any organic, experiential, empirical base to claim authority over the subject nor is it bullying by Dalits to point that out and say it is epistemic violence.~ Nilesh Kumar
