Description
Caste and Democracy in India: A Perspective from Below is a scholarly examination of how caste systems intersect with democratic institutions and practices in modern India. Dr. Vivek Kumar provides a comprehensive analysis of caste-based social hierarchies and their impact on democratic participation, political representation, and social justice movements.
The book offers insights into how marginalized communities navigate and challenge caste-based discrimination within democratic frameworks. It explores grassroots activism, social movements, and the voices of those from lower castes who have been historically excluded from political and social power structures.
Through empirical research and theoretical perspectives, Kumar demonstrates how democracy in India cannot be fully understood without examining caste relations. The work contributes significantly to both caste studies and democratic theory, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of India’s social and political landscape from below.
