The Untouchables Rejection of Hinduism and its Relation to Racial Ideologies

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of race and caste, this essay examines how low caste movements in India challenge Brahmin dominance and aim to abolish Untouchability. It highlights the emergence of a distinct racial identity among these movements, often accompanied by a rejection of Hinduism, the source of the caste system. The analysis is rooted in social reform efforts and the broader implications for the status of lower castes, providing insight into the dynamics of identity and discrimination in modern Indian society.
