Meer over het boek

The book explores the complexities of the Chaturvarnya system in Indo-Aryan society, highlighting how it enforces a hierarchy that relegates Shudras to the lowest social status. It critiques the simplistic understanding of this classification as merely a division into four classes, emphasizing the deep-seated inequalities and restrictions placed upon Shudras. The text delves into the historical context and implications of this social structure, revealing the significant challenges faced by the Shudras and the broader societal indifference to their plight.
