  1. Aditya Mishra –

    The research is very detailed and it shows in the book. It might be too much if you just want a general understanding of the topic.

  2. Vishal Sinha –

    Challenging and insightful. A different take on the origins of caste. It made me rethink some things, but I’m not fully convinced.

  3. Rahul Kumar Singh –

    Klass’s arguments are well-researched and thought-provoking. It challenged my preconceived notions about caste. Highly recommended!

  4. Anonymous –

    A decent book, although the writing felt a bit outdated. Still provides some interesting insights into the origins of caste.

  5. Bhavanya –

    It is a very complete and detailed book. However, the author could try to simplify the information for the general public.

  6. Suyash Pratap Rana –

    The author has a very specific and strong opinion about the subject. However, it can be enlightening if you are open-minded.

  7. Sanjeev Kumar –

    Klass provides a very interesting perspective. I found the ‘eclectic anthropology’ approach quite convincing and the book very informative.

  8. Vashisth Kumar Singh –

    Excellent analysis! Klass really dives deep into the complexities. A little slow at some points, but overall a great read.

  9. Anmol Jha –

    Great overview, though a little slow at times. It would be better with a bit more structure but still a solid piece of work.

  10. Prasannajit Sahoo –

    Excellent book! Comprehensive coverage of the topic. A must-read for those interested in South Asian history and culture.

  11. Garvit Rajora –

    The book has some good points but lacks a bit of nuance. It can feel too academic for a casual reader but very interesting.

  12. Praveen B –

    The book offers a unique perspective, although at some points it’s very complicated and hard to follow.

  13. Govind Garg –

    A bit academic for my taste, but packed with information. A very important academic book. Worth it if you’re serious about understanding caste.

  14. Name –

    I appreciated the fresh perspective, but found myself disagreeing with some of Klass’s conclusions. Interesting, nonetheless.

  15. Karisma Panda –

    Interesting and valuable but can be dense and complicated at times. It requires dedication to grasp. I would still recommend.

  16. Jayasurya K R –

    It is a good overview of the subject even though it requires some prior understanding of anthropology to get all the details.

  17. Deep Vikas Mehta –

    A bit dense and not easy to read but it does provide some insights. Recommended for serious study rather than casual reading.

  18. Aditya Rastogi –

    I have mixed feelings. While it’s informative, the writing can be dense. Good for academic purposes, but not a casual read.

  19. Amrit Raj –

    A bit dry, but a necessary read for anyone studying South Asian social systems. Very detailed and insightful.

  20. Aravindh V A –

    I found this book very insightful and helpful in understanding the nuances of the caste system. It can be a little dry though.

  21. Shaswati Doley –

    A thought-provoking read, but at times Klass’s arguments felt a bit dense. Still, a valuable contribution to the discussion on caste.

  22. Sushant Chandra –

    Klass’s book is a scholarly contribution that can lead to more research in the field of South Asian social studies. An essential read.
