Mavelinadu Collective

Mavelinadu is a publication house and cultural platform created exclusively by and for people belonging to marginalised castes and tribes. Our aim is to facilitate researchers, writers and artists to work freely and independently, to reframe, reclaim and debrahmanise these histories and highlight our lived experiences. We reject the literary and intellectual tradition of the so-called upper castes in this country that has not only excluded us, but has worked to justify the reproduction of the epistemic, structural and physical violence they enact on us everyday. Instead, our goal is to focus on oral traditions, folklore, and our own narratives of our past and world-building for our future.
