Explore the foundational analysis of India’s caste system with B.R. Ambedkar’s seminal work, ‘Castes in India’. Originally presented in 1916, this powerful paper delves into the intricate mechanisms, origins, and development of caste. Ambedkar meticulously argues that the practice of endogamy, or the prohibition of intermarriage, is the very essence and defining characteristic of the caste system. Discover his groundbreaking insights into how social stratification and segregation emerged, driven by matrimonial regimes and the aspiration to emulate perceived elites. This essential read, published by Kalpaz Publications, offers profound understanding of a critical aspect of Indian society, making it a vital addition to The Bookish Owl’s collection for anyone interested in sociology, history, and social justice.
