Uncover the complex ways caste adapts in contemporary India’s multicultural age. This insightful book challenges dominant social theories, explaining how caste groups ensure durability by being framed as cultural or ethnic difference rather than descent-based inequality. Through original fieldwork, it explores how this process revitalizes castes as cultural communities and presents a critical analysis of ‘new casteism,’ highlighting its impact on identity and inequality. Essential reading for scholars, students of Indian society, and anyone interested in South Asian culture and anti-caste politics.
