16 reviews for Beyond Caste: Identity and Power in South Asia, Past and Present

  1. Arpita Tripathi –

    Eye-opening! Showed how caste persisted outside of Hindu contexts. A bit academic at times, but the core message is very important.

  2. Parakh Agrawal –

    Guha’s research is impressive, but the writing is not engaging. It felt like a textbook. I wish it was more accessible to general readers.

  3. Raj Navinkumar Baghel –

    The intricate connection between identity and power in South Asia’s past and present is a bit slow but valuable. The topic is sensitive.

  4. Malika Gupta –

    Gave new understanding of South Asia’s past and present by exploring caste. It was informative, but required focus, felt academic.

  5. Deepansh Agrawal –

    A dense read, but Guha offers a fresh perspective on caste’s evolution. Some chapters were a bit dry. Explores beyond Hindu rule which is enlightening.

  6. Akash Aryan –

    Guha offers valuable insights but lacks depth. The European origins theory didn’t quite convince me. Still, a thought-provoking read.

  7. Muhammed Shahjas P –

    Fascinating caste history! Guha challenges effectively. Slow parts, great resource.

  8. Divyank Ranjan –

    Hard to follow; too detailed. Disconnected from relevance. Not casual.

  9. Suprith D S –

    Found it hard to follow. Too focused on details and felt disconnected from its present day relevance. Not for casual reading

  10. Purnyatre Gaur –

    Eye-opening and well-researched! Reveals persistence beyond Hindu rule. A bit academic but important.

  11. Anup Mangwani –

    Provided an enlightened view of how caste is viewed. Author covered both past and present, though some parts were a bit hard to grasp.

  12. Faizan Ali –

    Fascinating exploration of caste’s history. Guha challenges common narratives effectively. Some parts were slow, but still a great resource.

  13. Radha Swain –

    A unique view. The book was detailed and the arguments are very well articulated, though the topic is little sensitive.

  14. Karan Gupta –

    Detailed and argued well, though sensitive. Unique perspective!

  15. Yashwin Mehtani –

    Challenging but rewarding. “Beyond Caste” made me rethink assumptions. Guha’s analysis of power dynamics is insightful, though complex.

  16. Sumit Kumar –

    Interesting take on caste as ethnicity. I appreciated the historical depth, though some arguments felt a bit stretched. Overall worthwhile.
