Explore the often-overlooked impact of caste on the Bengal Partition with ‘Caste and Partition in Bengal’. This crucial book by Oxford University Press challenges conventional narratives by highlighting the experiences of Dalits, revealing their active role and profound suffering during Partition politics and violence. Discover how their unity was fractured, their political autonomy diminished, and their migration post-1950 led to segregation in unbearable refugee camps. The authors critically examine Dalit peasant struggles, their fight for rehabilitation, negotiations of caste and gender identities, and organized protests against state policies in post-Partition West Bengal. Understand how refugee politics shaped Dalit identity and fueled protest movements in this essential historical analysis.
