Description

Explore the complex social structures of India with The Politics of Caste in West Bengal. This volume from the Exploring the Political in South Asia series provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of how a modern caste society was formed and maintained in both colonial and postcolonial West Bengal. Using multidisciplinary scholarship, this book examines why caste is often overlooked in regional scholarship and politics. It addresses the reality of how caste relations influence the region today, challenging the common myth that caste does not play a role in Bengali society. This academic resource is essential for readers looking to understand the deep-seated social dynamics that shape the political landscape of West Bengal and allows for meaningful comparisons with other regions.
