About the Book
This important collection of essays by renowned sociologist M. N. Srinivas examines the changing role and structure of caste in post-independence India. Drawing on extensive research and sociological insight, the author explores how caste continues to influence social organization while adapting to modern political, economic, and cultural developments.
The book introduces influential concepts such as “Sanskritization” and the “dominant caste,” offering a framework for understanding social mobility, power dynamics, and community identity in contemporary Indian society. It also analyzes how caste interacts with democracy, education, and modernization, highlighting both continuity and change in social structures.
This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in sociology, social anthropology, and Indian society. It provides valuable perspective on the evolution of caste and its enduring significance in shaping social and political life in India.
