Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- 1. A movement is born -- 2. The mukhiya question -- 3. From darkness to fight -- 4. A division of labourers -- 5. Of the people, for the people -- 6. Apathy and a shot at redemption -- 7. The stories we tell -- 8. An inextinguishable flame -- 9. And that's the end of that.
Last Among Equals eschews the usual sweeping narratives of national and state politics, reaching instead for the 'swirling, vivid sub-narratives that escape easy categorisations', the darkness of the material leavened with deep empathy. The result is a captivating, often searing narrative of how lives are lived in the villages of Bihar--and indeed in much of India.
