In "Caste Pride: Battles for Equality in Hindu India," Manoj Mitta offers a comprehensive examination of the Hindu caste system through the lens of law, drawing on previously unseen legislative and judicial records. This masterful work traces the endurance and violence of the caste system over two centuries, shedding light on how it has discriminated against Hindus across various dimensions of life. The book explores issues related to where people could live, how they could dress, access to public places, temple entry, marriage, and much more.
Mitta delves into the transformative journey of Hinduism into its modern form and highlights the contributions of individuals from diverse castes, including pioneering figures like Savitribai Phule, B.R. Ambedkar, Periyar, and others who played pivotal roles in challenging the caste system. The book also re-examines the positions of influential leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and C. Rajagopalachari, shedding light on their stance on caste-related issues.
Through ground-breaking discoveries and keen insights, "Caste Pride" argues that untouchability is just one aspect of the varna system, a pervasive purity-based hierarchy that affects the freedoms of all. The book offers a comprehensive and transformative exploration of the caste system's enduring impact on Indian society.
Author Manoj Mitta is a Delhi-based journalist who specializes in law, human rights, and social justice. He has previously written critically acclaimed books on impunity for mass violence and has extensive experience in the field of journalism and human rights advocacy.
