I find this exercise really interesting. I think Arundhatis essay is a very valiant attempt made by an upper-caste left-liberal to lay to rest/come to terms with the critical examinations that Bahujans have been subjecting Gandhi to over the past half century. Its appalling that an essay that tries to introduce Ambedkars AoC is all about Gandhi. Need evidence? Consider this: Number of occurrences of Gandhi in the Caravan essay: 193 Number of occurrences of Mahatma: 23 Number of occurrences of Ambedkar: 143 Number of occurrences of Babasaheb: 1 Number of occurrences of Phule: 6 P.S: In the essay, none of the honorific Mahatma refers to Phule. For Bahujans Phule is the Mahatma, not Gandhi.
