English and Marathi) and research articles on data
analytics, cybernetics, caste-class and public policy
issues. His most recent publications include Republic
of Casteand the co-edited anthology The Radical In
Ambedkar: Critical Reflectionsby Penguin Random
House. His writings have been translated into several
Indian languages.
Over his long career, Dr. Teltumbde has consis-
tently been on the side of social justice, democracy,
and the Indian Constitution. His books and articles
are taught in universities the world over. He has sup-
ported democratic struggles in the country against
caste- and religion-based violence as a representa-
tive of very large numbers of ordinary people whose
voices and hopes he bears. His writings –scholarly,
technical, and popular– have been very central to
India’s critical thinking. His lengthy resume demon-
strates his far-reaching contributions to several fields
of academic inquiry, as well as to bringing about pro-
gressive social change.
Despite his professional success, which could
have meant a luxurious and carefree retirement, Dr
Teltumbde has instead contributed his intellect and
experience back to our society via teaching, writing
and contributing to democracy through people’s
movements. Dr. Teltumbde has been invited by
organizations/forums worldwide for his scholarship
and he has always expressed his views on making
India progressive, inclusive and harmonious.
It is preposterous that Dr. Teltumbde is facing
imminent arrest under the undemocratic Unlawful
Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) based on a fabri-
cated case filed by the Pune police in India under
which ten other eminent persons, including human
rights activists, lawyers, and public intellectuals, are
already under arrest. The case relates to the organiz-
ing of a peaceful meeting on 31st December, 2017 to
commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Last
Anglo-Maratha battle, which took place at Bhima-
Koregaon, Maharashtra, India, where large numbers
of Dalit soldiers were martyred. Justice P. B. Sawant,
a retired judge of the Supreme Court, and Justice B.
G. Kolse-Patil, an ex-judge of the Bombay High Court,
were co-organizers of this event. In point of fact, Dr.
Teltumbde was not even present at the event.

Following it, several fabricated letters
addressed to a “Comrade Anand” were released by
the Pune police as ‘evidence’ for the justification for
his arrest. Each of the so-called charges by the Pune
police has been refuted with documentary proof by
Dr. Teltumbde. Notwithstanding this proof, the false
charges have continued in a concerted campaign to
intimidate and silence Dr. Teltumbde. As is very well
known, under the UAPA, these fabrications are
enough to detain Dr. Teltumbde. We cannot accept
such ‘detention without trial’. We therefore demand
that all charges against Dr. Teltumbde be dropped
immediately and that justice prevail on the side of
truth.
