Description

This comprehensive volume provides an in-depth analysis of caste society in colonial and postcolonial West Bengal, drawing on cutting-edge multidisciplinary scholarship to explain why caste continues to be overlooked in the region's politics and scholarship. The essays challenge the widespread misconception that caste holds no significance in Bengali society and politics, tracing how caste relations have shaped the region's political landscape from colonial times to the present day. By dispelling myths about caste's irrelevance in West Bengal, this book enables meaningful comparisons with other South Asian regions and contributes essential understanding to the study of social and political structures in contemporary India.

Key Features

The Politics of Caste in West Bengal offers the first comprehensive analysis of caste society's making and maintenance across colonial and postcolonial periods in the region.

This Routledge India publication integrates cutting-edge multidisciplinary scholarship to explain historical patterns of caste relations in Bengali politics.

The collection of essays addresses the academic gap in West Bengal studies by demonstrating that caste structures remain central to understanding regional politics and society.

The book enables scholars to make meaningful comparisons between West Bengal's caste dynamics and political structures across other South Asian regions.
