Description

This groundbreaking academic work by Routledge challenges deeply entrenched misconceptions about Indian society and caste systems. The author demonstrates that caste is not an ancient institution unchanging since the dawn of Indian civilisation, nor a colonial construct imposed from outside, but rather a dynamic social system that has continuously evolved throughout history. The volume explores how power relations shape Indian society, examines the diversity of kingship across regions, and reveals that villages and caste structures are neither uniform nor exclusively rural phenomena. By adopting regional and local perspectives, this work reframes our understanding of caste as a complex system operating across urban and rural settings alike, influenced by transaction, hierarchy, and constant historical transformation rather than static tradition or external imposition.

Key Features

Challenges prevailing cultural stereotypes about India and caste systems with scholarly rigour.

Demonstrates that caste has continuously evolved throughout history rather than remaining static.

Examines diverse forms of Indian kingship and power relations across different regions.

Reveals caste as both urban and rural phenomenon, not confined to village societies.

Provides regional and local perspectives essential for understanding caste as a dynamic system.

Refutes arguments that caste is either a colonial invention or result of weak state control.
