Dalit middle class mobility identity and politics of caste
Srinivas, Gurram
Dalit middle class mobility identity and politics of caste / Srinivas,Gurram - Jaipur : Rawat Publication c2016 - 230 p. : 21 cm.
Includes index
This book is an empirical account of the much debated, yet often misconstrued, category of Dalits in India. It primarily concerns itself with the emergent ideological trends and patterns of identities among the middle class Dalits. This is mainly attributed to India's post-independence period reservation policies. In a changing context of Dalit assertion and the caste-Hindu opposition to Dalit mobility, it is essential to understand the rapid changes occurring, not only in their economic status, but also in their own perceptions of their socio-political status, especially by focusing on their ideology and identity.
