Caste and Democratic Politics in India, Paperback by Shah, Ghanshyam (EDT), ISBN 1843310864, ISBN-13 9781843310860, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The Indian constitution seeks to prevent the perpetuation of caste and build a casteless social system. But in over half a century since Indian independence, this has not been achieved and does not seem likely in the near future. Therefore, no understanding of Indian politics is possible without a thorough understanding of the complexities of the caste system. The aim of this four-part book is to bring about such an understanding.
