Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:The book is an experimental illustration of how one can use information which is available, obviously to the credit of the author’s insightful probing of the questions for which he seems to have answers for all. It makes one raise more questions and gives one ideas to begin the thought process. A “must read” book because of its interdisciplinary nature.
(Social Action)Using empirical data combined with an impressive array of secondary sources, Dr Bandyopadhyay delineates the manner in which Hindu caste society maintained its cultural hegemony and structural cohesion. Starting with an examination of the relationship between caste and power, the book examines early cultural encounters between `high` Brahmanical tradition and the more egalitarian `popular` religious cults of the lower castes. It moves on to take a close look at the relationship between caste and gender showing the reasons why the reform movement for widow remarriage failed. It ends with an examination of the Hindu `partition` campaign, which appropriated dalit autonomous politics and made Hinduism the foundation of an emergent Indian national identity.
Sekhar Bandyopadhyay breaks with many of the assumptions of two important schools of thought―the Dumontian and the subaltern―and takes instead a more nuanced approach to show how high caste hegemony has been able to perpetuate itself. He thus takes up issues which go to the heart of contemporary problems in India`s social and political fabric.
