A book that digs up hidden links in Indian culture

Today, the Bahujan-Shraman culture has been posing a challenge to the Aryan-Dwij culture. Both the cultures go back a long way, so do the clashes between the two. How does ‘Mahishasur: Mithak va Paramparayen’ put forward from a Bahujan-Shraman perspective the various facets of this ‘cultural war’ that has been going on for thousands of years?
