Descriere
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the changing dynamics of politics of caste in colonial and postcolonial West Bengal. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship and using an interdisciplinary approach, it examines why caste continues to be neglected in the politics of the state, as also how caste relations have permeated the politics of the region.
