Panther’s Paw Publication

My name is Yogesh Maitreya (Wanjari).I am a publisher at Panther's Paw Publication (henceforth PPP) which I have founded in 2016 from my hostel room while I was pursuing my PhD at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. PPP publishes authors from Dalit community which is the most marginalised and the most oppressed community in India. At PPP, I have published 14 books as of now with the support of crowd fund. These books are anti-caste stories (caste is the most cruelest and oldest systematic social structure). I have published translation from four Indian languages into English as well as original English writings by Dalit authors. At PPP, my vision behind publishing writings by Dalit authors is to visibalise the stories of the community which are historically and systematically erased from the public imagination.
