| Description: |
Caste is a complex, dynamic, and enduring aspect of Indian social life. Combining the most up-to-date research on caste with a rigorous exposition of its various dimensions-as an institution, as a traditional practice, and as power and humiliation-this short introduction will prove to be an indispensable starting point towards understanding caste in India. |
| Synopsis: |
The highly complex, dynamic, and enduring social reality of caste in India remains an anathema for social theorists. Combining up-to-date research with accessible and systematic exposition, this short introduction provides an exciting synoptic view of all the main aspects and dimensions of caste in India today. Looking at caste as tradition, as a constitutive element in power politics, and its inherent strands of humiliation and contestation in modern times, this book covers the many themes and issues around the lived reality of caste in India. It will prove indispensable for scholars, students, and general readers interested in this all-pervasive element of Indian social life. |
