About the Author :
D. Kantowsky, born in Berlin in 1936, retired as Professor of Sociology from the University of Konstanz (Germany) in 1999. He pursued postgraduate studies at Banaras Hindu University from 1964 to 1967 and spent more than a year in a village of Varanasi District. He has maintained close research contacts with the region ever since, and is founder-editor (1990) of a series of publications on 'Buddhist Modernism' especially in the West. His other English publications include Sarvodaya: The Other Development (1980), Recent Research on Max Weber's Studies of Hinduism (1986), An Indian Village through Letters and Pictures (1995). Eleanor Zelliot was a scholar of the Ambedkar movement in all its historic, social and cultural facets and also works in the field of medieval bhakti as a historian. She wrote some eighty articles in these fields, some of which are gathered in From Untouchable to Dalit: Essays on the Ambedkar Move­ment (1992, 3rd edn.2001).
