Publisher's Synopsis
Vamandada Kardak is a respected name in the field of songwriting in the Ambedkari movement. Because Vamandada's overall songwriting is an important historical event in that movement. In the tradition of folk songs, just as folk songs are accepted by the people and create their 'Garuda' in the minds of the people and retain that 'Garuda' for a long time, exactly the 'Garuda' Vamandada's songwriting has established on the collective mind of Ambedkari. That is why the respectful mention of him as a 'folk poet' is justified.
The tasteful interpretation of Vamandada Kardak's selected song compositions in the book presented by Jayant Sathe, Vamandada throughout his life. 'Jagar' reveals the human values of Babasaheb Ambedkar's biography, achievements, and thoughts. In this here, Jayant Sathe has precisely highlighted the historical work done by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and the disintegration status achieved by the Ambedkari movement in the period after him.
