Description

This Routledge volume offers a historically informed phenomenology of caste and untouchability in India, moving beyond conventional frameworks of purity and pollution to present fresh scholarly insights. The book provides a rigorous reading of ancient and medieval texts whilst examining the concepts of 'Brahmin' and the practice of untouchability within their social and historical contexts. By reframing relationships between social groups and categories, it delivers an essential intervention for understanding the complexities of the Indian caste order. Designed for scholars, researchers, and students across political studies, political philosophy, cultural studies, Dalit studies, and Indology, this work combines theoretical depth with empirical grounding to advance contemporary debates on caste systems and social stratification.
