 Dhan Gopal Mukerji's Caste and Outcast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Mukerji (1890-1936) was the first South Asian immigrant to the United States to carve out a successful literary career, publishing more than twenty books of nonfiction, fiction, poetry, drama, translations, and children's stories.
Caste and Outcast was published when Mukerji was 33, but tells the story of his life only till age 25 and that too with several gaps.
In 1928, Mukerji was the first to publish a rejoinder to American journalist Katherine Mayo's notorious Mother India, which she had published after a 6-month tour of India.(Mayo's book was dismissed by M.K. Gandhi as "a drain inspector's report.").
