They are considered unclean, polluting and untouchable. Some of them joined Christian Churches in search of liberation. However, Christian denominations and Indian Christian theology failed them, and Dalit Theology emerged from that historical and theological contexts. However, Dalit theology followed the hermeneutical examples of Latin American and African American theologies and overlooked the subversive voices in Dalit contexts. It placed the hermeneutical examples developed in alien contexts at the centre of Dalit theology as a dominant self and the longing for a liberated-reconciled society connected through mutual partnerships, embedded in the subversive voices, as a dominated self at the periphery of Dalit theology.

This paper analyses the political and religious context of Babylonian Diaspora community and Achaemenid Yehud to account for the similarities between Genesis 12: 1-3 and Deuteronomy 28: 1-14 and the reservations to the Edict of Cyrus in Abraham's call. The study shows that the historical, political and religious context of the post-exilic Yehud had influenced the composition of Genesis 12: 1-3. The post-exilic Deuteronomic school challenged the attempts of the Persian administration to limit Yahweh and the Davidic kingship. Genesis 12: 1-3 might have emerged out of the discontent of the post-exilic Deuteronomic school with the imperial policies of the pro-Persian management of Achaemenid Yehud.
