Caste and class ideology in contemporary India[electronic resource] /by Vikramendra Kumar. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2024. - xii, 198 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Discourse on Caste System -- Caste and Politics in India -- Defence of Caste System and Hindu Nationalists -- Caste-Based Oppression and Class Struggle -- Intersections of Caste and Gender -- Caste and its Economic Implications -- Caste in Modern India -- Conclusion.

This volume explores contemporary caste dynamics in India, combining theoretical insights with rich empirical evidence. It offers an insightful examination of how caste practices, particularly concerning marginalized communities or Dalits, have transformed over the years. The book delves into the persistent yet evolving nature of caste hierarchies, highlighting both progress and ongoing challenges these communities face in their quest for autonomy and dignity. It examines how Dalits navigate social power imbalances, face social boycotts, and violent resistance despite breaking free from traditional dependency. It provides a nuanced account of the intersection between religion and caste, exploring movements like Ad-Dharm and the establishment of community centers for worship and social activities. The volume also sheds light on the shifting political landscape, discussing the rise of backward castes and the increasing assertion of Dalit identity. By drawing parallels between caste and race/ethnicity studies, it delves into how caste identities continue to perpetuate economic and social inequalities. This book is a crucial resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of caste and class in modern India.
