Eleanor Zelliot (October 7, 1926 – June 5, 2016) was an American writer, retired professor of Carleton College[1] and specialist on the history of India, Southeast Asia, Vietnam, women of Asia, Untouchables, and social movements.[2][3][4]

Zelliot wrote over eighty articles and edited three books on the movement among Untouchables in India led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, on saint-poets of the medieval period, and on the current Ambedkar-inspired Buddhist movement. She was one of the most prominent writers on Dalits of India.[5]

Zelliot died on June 5, 2016, in Minnesota.[6]
