Yogesh Maitreya, a prominent independent Indian Dalit publisher, writer, and poet, is the author of Water in a Cracked Pot, a memoir that is both extraordinarily emotional and piercingly honest. This deeply touching narrative is a tale of tenacity and unrepentant savagery, covering feelings of anguish, loneliness, depravation, alienation, and the political knowledge of his caste identity. Yogesh, who was raised in a working-class family with meagre wages to get by, writes about his father's battle with alcohol and his love of cinema, the broken dreams of generations past, working day and night shifts in factories, the struggle of feeling lost, ignored, and unmentored in India's schooling, college, and university systems, which continue to be casteist, exclusive, and hostile, as well as his feelings of lovelessness, loss, and heartaches. ?Having hopped from gig to gig to make ends meet, he writes of his eventual discovery of the written word, literature and the Ambedkarite legacy, which helped shape his dreams, identity and the eventual career choice of publishing books. In sharing his story, this fresh and radical voice tells his truth in the most frank and unfiltered of ways, as it happened, giving us readers permission to also be vulnerable in telling our tales.
