The focus is primarily on the emerging ideological trends and identity patterns among the Dalit middle class, a phenomenon largely attributed to India’s post-Independence reservation policies. It explores the changing socio-political context in which Dalit assertion and caste-Hindu opposition to Dalit mobility are key factors in shaping the current narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book examines how Dalit mobility has influenced their socio-economic status and how these individuals perceive their political status. By exploring the ideological shifts and identity formation of Dalits in India, this work helps in recognizing the broader processes of social change in India. It presents a nuanced analysis of the Dalit middle class’s economic, political, and social transformations, especially in light of changing national and global contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough a detailed study of Dalit middle-class ideology and identity, the author sheds light on the evolution of their worldviews, including interpersonal relationships, work life, and neighborhood dynamics. The emergence and consolidation of this middle class, particularly in the wake of post-independence policies, plays a central role in directing and sustaining the contemporary Dalit movement, redefining Dalit identity and ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents Include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDalit Middle Class or Dalit Elite?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDalit Middle Class: An Empirical Analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle Class Dalits and Their Ideology and Identity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDalit Middle Class and Narratives of Self and Community\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Towards a Sociology of Dalit Middle Class\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGurram Srinivas is an Associate Professor in Sociology at the Centre for the Study of Social Systems, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi.
