Question

Whydid Phule dedicate his book Gulamgirito the American movement to free slaves?

Answer 1

JyotiraoPhule was concerned with all forms ofinequalities and injustices existing in society—whether it wasthe plight of the upper-caste women, the miseries of the labourer, orthe humiliation of the low castes. By dedicating his book Gulamgirito the American movement to free slaves, he linked the conditions ofthe black slaves in America with those of the lower castes in India.This comparison also contains an expression of hope that one day,like the end of slavery in America, there would be an end to allsorts of caste discriminations in Indian society.
