She begins her book by taking readers on a guided tour of important historical movements and analysing several ideologies. As she discusses each ideology and movement, she points out the drawbacks and advantages of each one based on her own experience and observations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of Ghandy’s most-important contributions towards politics and her writing is her work on Dalit issues and gender causes. In her writing, she states that in order for the Dalit to succeed, they had to dismantle the caste and patriarchal system and not turn into an identity struggle. Ghandy’s writings further reveal the workings of a formidable mind who was not afraid of challenging dogma or nuances.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScripting The Change contains three sections: Caste, Women and Miscellaneous.
