He has also written Dalit Saahity Ka Saundaryshaastr (2001), and a history of the Valmiki community, Safai Devata (2009).
Of Course , Shri Omprakash Valmiki is the strong voice of Dalits.I proud of for the same. God bless him.
deeply impressed by jutthan,it was not only an autobiography but marvellous presentation of sufferings given by hindu society to weaker sections.i am proud to belong to this community.
Joothan is really a social document of Maharashtra and Mathiya Pradesh. Omprakash has been living in the world of Caste Myth. the Myth of Indian Caste system. In spite of his Education and employment, His superiors ,like “Commandant of the DSC arrived from Muzaffarngo District, near Barla.” Joothan-134, are still living in Mad world of caste system. by S.bharathirajaelt@gmail.com, UGC Project fellow on Dalit literature in Tamil Nadu
Last night I did read biography of Mr. Balmiki “jhootan” it is very true story about dalit people. It give us enspiration to work somthing for some others those are ruling by todays’s “Social Danav”.
Om Prakash Ji’
Sarverpratham apko Mera Pranam,
Mai kaafi pehle se aapka sahitya padh raha hu, or mera sodh karya bhe dalit sahitiye par chal raha.. apki atam kath “JHOOTAN” ne sarvadhik prabhit kiya. iski partiyek pankti satye par aadhirat h.. aapka shitiye ke madhyam se mujhe ek bal mila h.. maine apni kamzori ko apni himmat bana liya ha… apaka aashirward ki kamna karta hu……
Respected Omprakashji,
Namaskar. I am deeply impressed with your novel or rather your autobiography ” Jhoothan” which incidentally I happened to purchased. I was stunned with the horrifying inhumilation casted on Balmiki Samaj People in Uttar Pradesh. We here in Maharashtra State feel little bit lucky due to the Social upliftment made by renowned Social Workers.
I would like to Purchase your New Book ” Safai Devta ” ( 2009), Kindly let me know from which Publisher it was published its detailed Postal Address and the exact price of the Book. Kindly arrange to give the details to me on my email id. rlalbegi@yahoo.co.in
Sir, Joothan, a life story is simply a heart touching. Since i have read it, hardly I could have slept without thinking of the lives of the oppressed class. Belonging to Buddhist religion (after 1956), my parents have experienced more or less the same pangs of casteism. Hence i have decided to work on Dalit Literature. Joothan is one of the texts of my research work. I expect more work from Omprakash Valmiki and wishes extreme energy to fight against Castiest Indian Society.
Please, give me details of the other texts and secondary sources on Hon’ble Omprakash Valmiki’s work. My E-mail ID is __ gautamambhore@gmail.com.
But Things have changed over time.Nowadays it become exception instead of routine problem. However we need to work from our heart to eradicate those exceptions.
Hello
Please tell me the name of the publisher of your short stories Salaam & Ghuspethiye. I need some material on Dalit short stories(English translations only). If there is a book available regarding this please guide me. I shall be very thankful to you.
of course its sure that omprakash is a very strong person of dalit.he can go further and climb the mountains of freedom and equality. may god bless him.
Shri Om Prakash Valmiki Ji Namaskaar. Maine aapka Jhoothan novel padha hai. Mai apse bahut prabhavit hoon. Appki lambi aayu ke liye main prarthana karta Hnoo.
Om Prakash Valmiki was good and I have also read him in our school books.He was also a simple and a complete man.
Respected Valmiki ji has done very encouraging work by writting about Dalits of India. He has undressed the truth of our society. He is Masiha of Dalits. In this moderen age the Dalits of India are living in Shamefull position . The villages or rural area of India is treating same as Valmiki have discribed. Valmiki ji wish u good luck for wonderfull writings.
Good morning! I am belholden by your novel or rather your autobiography ” Jhoothan”. It writes a new history of India.

Hello Sir,
I have never encountered any big problem belonging to this community out this community itself…
I am an Administrative Officer in The Oriental Insurance. Till now my life had been all about studies making me stand at a position from where I will not be able to face problems this community, specially the girls faces… when they are first harrashed by their parents by not letting them properly be educated to wish for any better life…
what are your views regarding this…
Regards
Nidhi
Sir,
Whatever Mr. Ravindra Pratap Singh has wrote is very much evident to me as well.
I do not know if its any worthwhile writting problems to you…
But, u have reached to a level now. I think we can expect your co-ordination to take up things which is in favor of whole community.
looking forward for your reply.
wishing you the best
Nidhi

Really a good inspiration book “Joothan” I purchased two books for my library.
Balmiki ji ki book jhoothan maine bahut pahle padhi thi aaj bhi mujhe book ki ek line yaad hai jisme om prakash ji ke father kahte hain ki beta padh likh kar jati(caste) ko Aage badhana hai. Mujhe iss baat ne itna impress kiya hai ki main chahta hoon ki har father apne bete se yehi baat kahe,ek din aisa ayega ki hum hindustan ke sabse bade pad per baithe honge
Respected Shri Om Parkashi ji,

Aaj bhi samaj mein vahi ho raha hai keval uska roop/ tarika badal gaya hai. Aap jaise logon ke sangharsh se hi kuchh badlao ki kiran dikhegi. Regards.

Respected Sir,
maine apki book jhuthan padhi, padhkar laga k ye apki nahi ham sab ki kahani hai..
book padhte samay aisa lag raha tha k sab meri aankhon k samne ho raha hai..sab wahi baatein jo main
mehsus karta hun..or bilkul wahi sab jo hamare samaj mein hota hai..ek ek sabd bilkul sahi.. bas ab aisa lagta hai k aapse hamari bohat phle ki jaan pehchan ho.. aapse ab bohat saari aasayein judhi hai.. par sir unko bhi kisi tarh se prerit kare jo log padh nhi sakte kyonki ab bhi hmare samaj mein aeshiksa bohat hai.. aap jaati sudharne mein lage rahe iss sangharsh mein ham bhi apke sath hai…

OM PARKASH JI..
Apse aasha hai k aap samaj k padhe likhe logo ko toh bohat prerit kar chuke hai
par smaj k un logo ko bhi shamjhane ki ya prerit karne ki koshish karein jo book pdhte hi nahi..jo ab bhi
aadambaro or kurityon mein phasein huein hai.. nasa karte hai..saraab pite hai.. un logo ko kasein samjhayein ye samshya ab bhi bani huee hai.. kya ham sab mil k un logo k liye, apne samaj k liye kuch kar sakte hai.. taaki hamari jaati sudhar sake.. or ham bhi garv se keh sake k Ham hai Balmiki..

This type of harrassment was not happend in any country, any community and not for such a long time(more than 2000 yrs) in the history of mankind except India. This is really unbearable. How could we consider ourselves civilized when a part of our society are being deprieved of basic rights of human beings. Hats off to great people like Mr Omprakash Valmiki who suffered and struggled a lot and attained success in society. Thanks sir for sharing your things with all. Its really an honour.

Omprakashji..
At the moment reading your autobiography. .joothan..Just have read a few pages and found the urge to show my respect to you…I dont know what to say, but yes I would like to ask forgiveness from you and your people for the atrocities committed on them due to this stupid system prevalent in our country.
Don’t know how or why this was started, maybe by a few selfish but powerful people in this country..now their place has been taken over by these politicians and the religious heads. .hopefully one day …our country will escape their clutches. ..
It would be a privilege if I could meet you..
Regards..

Sir,
Am from Kerala the land of Malayalam . . Recently I read your experience through the Joothans English version ..From the time onwards, sir,I have strong impulse to translate it into my regional language …..and am eagerly waiting your response in this regard.
Today, the 17th November, 2013 I was watching TV. I shocked to see the footage that Shri Om Prakash Valmiki has expired. We have lost a dedicated, strong valmiki sahityakar who had shown the true picture of valmiki community to the world. I pray all mighty that his soul rest in peace and also pray to God to replace a same person to this community in lieu of our beloved departed soul. Salute to Om Prakash Valmiki Ji.
OM PARKASH VALMIKI JI.IS THE GRETEST WRITER OF DALIT COMNITY.HIS CHAIN OF B.R AMBEDKAR .SAHB JI.HE IS THE SIMBOL OF DALIT MANTALITY WICH KIND OF PROBLAMS THEY FACE IN INDIA AND MANUVADI SOCITY.NEXT GUNRATION ALWYS REMEMBER .AND INSPIR THE GREAT SOUL OF OM PARKASH VALMIKI.
sir,
joothan book ki ek prati ki jarurat hai
Om Prakash Valmiki Ji is yug ke ek utkrast dalit hindi sahitya ke aatmkathakar, samajshastri, manovaigyanik evam leek se hatkar chalne bale bharat varsh ke ek mahan sapoot hain. Aapke avismarniy palon ke saath naman.
Dear Mr. Prakash ji I am very much pleased to know about you today. Before this I was not aware that there is anyone from Balmiki caste who is so much qualified and writing books etc. I belong to village Ghevra, Delhi and also very much interested to know about my people. I came across one our Hindi officer presently working in Ministry of Defence in South Block, New Delhi, who is at present in DS rank. I also trying to know our caste children who are also more qualified. I always see the names of our caste in Times of India Matrimonals. These children are working in MNCs and settled in foreign county also. We are also progressing but perhaps not at the high speed even after 65years of independence. Our people in States are being still victimized specially in Haryana like Guhana and Mirchipur etc. I would request you to please raise our voice at an appropriate forum, where every Indian should see that we are also Indian living in independent India but they will not like us to rise and if at all somebody tries his legs are pulled back. Pl. try to do something so that our people may feel proud and live independently. Something may also please be done so that our ancestral profession is stopped and our people may do something else instead of sweeping. Pl. do write to me and send to me on email. I will be very much pleased and obliged. Thanking you and kind regards.
I am really happy to read about him, But I am socked to read that he is not in the world . May god bless him. People like Om prakash balmiki neved dies.
Sir, good morning
I want to read your book “Joothan” from where can I get it.
Sir, I respect you by heart. you have writing power But, now there is no such teacher, which can increase courage of Dalit samaj. I think, you can increase courage of Dalit samaj. But I know samaj sewa is very much difficult work,because in present, we are very busy. It is very difficult to participate for others. But,according to me; some time, some money should be invested for Dalit society. So that, backward Dalit can improve. Forward Dalit can help others.
Kindly consider my advise, I am with you.
Thank you
