Caste and Equality in India (Routledge New Horizons in South Asian Studies)

4.9/5 (22011 ratings)

Description:This book presents an alternative view of caste in Indian society by analyzing caste structure and change in local communities in Orissa from historical and anthropological perspectives.Focusing on the agricultural society in the Khurda district of Orissa between the eighteenth century and 2019, the book links discussions on the current transformation of society and politics in India with analyses of long-term historical transformations. The author suggests that, beyond status and power, there is another value which is important in Indian society, namely ontological equality which functions as the politico-ethical ground for asserting respect and concern for life of others. The book argues that the value of ontological equality has played an important role in creating and affirming the diverse society which characterizes India. It further contends that the movement towards vernacular democracy, that has become conspicuous since the second half of the 1990s, is a historically ground-breaking event which opens a path beyond the postcolonial predicament, supported by the affirmation of diversity by the subalterns based on the value of ontological equality.This important contribution to the study of Indian society will be of interest to academics working on the social, political and economic history, sociology, anthropology and political science of South Asia, as well as to those interested in social and political theory.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
