Babytai Kamble

She is widely remembered and loved by the Dalit community for her contributions of powerful literary and activist work.

Kamble is critically acclaimed and known for her autobiographical work Jina Amucha, written in Marathi.

She encouraged and persuaded Baby Tai to publish her writings which soon became one of the best autobiographical accounts on caste, poverty, violence, and triple discrimination faced by Dalit women.

It is deeply embedded with two important critical moments in the Indian history: freedom from the British rule and anti-caste movement led by Dr. B.R.

Thus, Baby Tai's auto-biography is just not personal account of a woman's life history but it is a deeply political and a critical record of the making of the nation from the vantage point of a very precarious social location.

Jina Amucha public contribution is that it is a nation's biography chronicled from the untouchable woman's point of view.

Kamble also underscores how upper caste Hindu women and men treated untouchables with contempt, disgust, and hate.

The book was translated into English titled The Prisons We Broke by Maya Pandit and published by Orient Blackswan.

She started a government approved residential school for children from disadvantaged communities in Nimbure, Maharashtra.
