About the Book
This anthology delves into the intricate nature and mechanisms of social mobility within the caste system in India. Aimed at offering a comprehensive view of the Indian caste system, the contributors approach the subject from various perspectives — historical, contemporary, urban, and rural. The authors combine empirical data gathered from modern ethnographic research with emerging theories surrounding social stratification and sociocultural change, focusing specifically on caste.
The book explores several pivotal topics such as ranking methodology, jajmani relations, regional integration channels, Sanskritization, parochialization, and the impact of recent legislation and other catalysts of social change.
By examining these areas, the book provides significant insights into the scope and significance of social mobility in the caste system and uncovers the underlying mechanisms and determinants that drive this process. The contributors aim to contribute to the evolving synthesis of new approaches to caste studies, making this volume a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of caste and social mobility in India.
