    A well-researched but somewhat controversial take on Brahmin identity. Be prepared for a challenging and thought-provoking read.

    Chuyen’s analysis is insightful but could be more accessible to a general audience. Still, a valuable contribution to understanding caste in India.

    The book could have benefited from more personal stories and anecdotes to illustrate the points being made.
