Baby Kamble

Baby Kamble worked as an activist in Phaltan, a small town in Satara district of Maharashtra. A veteran of the Dalit movement in Maharashtra, she was inspired by the radical leadership of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, and got involved with the struggle from a very young age. Later she went on to establish a government-approved residential school for socially backward students in Nimbure, a small village near Phaltan. She has published collections of poetry, and been honoured with several awards for her literary and social work. Her autobiography Jina Amucha was first published as a book in Marathi in 1986, and first translated into English by Maya Pandit as The Prisons We Broke (Orient Longman, 2008). This is the second edition of The Prisons We Broke, which includes Baby Kamble’s prefaces to the first (1986) and second (1990) editions of Jina Amucha. She passed away on 21 April 2012.
