About the Book
This volume brings together a collection of essays examining the historical roots, political dimensions, and possible remedies related to the Indian caste system. Subrata Raha traces the evolution of caste from its socio-religious origins to its entanglement with modern state politics and identity formations.

The essays critically explore how caste operates as a structure of power, exclusion, and hierarchy, while also engaging with debates around reform, resistance, and social justice. Through analytical clarity and historical awareness, the book encourages readers to rethink entrenched assumptions and confront the continuing relevance of caste in contemporary society.

Concise yet impactful, this 112-page paperback serves as an important contribution to discussions on history, politics, and social transformation.
