The Dalit Drum
Overview
The Dalit Drum --- 2001
From the sleeve notes: The dalits were formerly known as ‘the untouchables’ – victims of a caste system that considers them as ‘outcastes’. They have chosen to call themselves the ‘dalits’ from the Sanskrit meaning crushed, oppressed or broken. The drum or ‘Thappu’ has become a symbol of liberation for them. This album tells of their struggle for justice and dignity and their journey towards human rights. CD contains a mini documentary of the Dailt Drum in form of a video clip (8min 3secs 352x288 VCD resolution) and a 5Mb PDF entitled "TheDalitDrum.pdf"
