The Decline of the Caste Question
Post-colonial studies in South Asia, including Subaltern Studies dominated by Bengali Bhadroloks (an invisible tight-knit club of upper-caste men and women), have presented Bengal as a region with an exceptional history. In the normative representation, Bengal was the harbinger of modernity and progressive ideas, including in its history writing. This remarkable book by Dwaipayan Sen is a rare attempt to upend that dominant narrative and expose t…

Satel…
A Dalit Paradigm

This article argues that in ideas against caste prejudices, it …
