As a result of acquiring higher education, these communities have achieved respectable positions in government and non-government sectors, leading to the emergence of a new elite class comprising intellectual, administrative, professional, and political elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese elites, predominantly residing in urban areas, have integrated into upper-caste society and raised their position within the caste hierarchy. The book explores how these elite Scheduled Castes have begun adopting socio-cultural patterns that were once reserved for higher castes and how their social interaction patterns have evolved over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study investigates the social attitudes and interactions of the Scheduled Caste elites in urban Maharashtra, particularly their changing relationships with upper castes and other non-Scheduled Castes. The book also highlights the growing social divide, as these educated elites have distanced themselves from their less fortunate relatives still struggling with poverty, intensifying social disparities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\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\u003eReview of Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfile of Maharashtra, Selected Cities and Methodology\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Attitude of the Scheduled Castes’ Elite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Interaction Patterns of Scheduled Castes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJagan Karade is a Professor and Head of the Department of Sociology at Shivaji University, Kolhapur (Maharashtra).
