Summary, etc. Caste and class as topics of research may<br/>cover almost entire gamut of sociological<br/>inquiry. The book, Caste and Class in India, is<br/>an outcome of a very well organized and<br/>academically fruitful exercise under the<br/>auspices of the TDSS, Pune. The papers<br/>included in the volume, covering nine states,<br/>highlight the complex dynamics of the nexus<br/>between caste and class. Caste as seen from<br/>the class point of view and class as seen from<br/>the caste point of view make it explicit that<br/>the two inhere each other historically as well<br/>as in contemporary India as inseparable<br/>aspects of India's social formation. However,<br/>the dynamics of the nexus have varied from<br/>region to region. This is how West Bengal<br/>presents a different scenario compared to<br/>Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. What is today in the<br/>form of casteism in Bihar is not found<br/>elsewhere in the country. Rajasthan, despite<br/>its feudal legacy, has witnessed remarkable<br/>socio-economic and political changes in the<br/>post-independence period, and this is much<br/>less evident in the case of Bihar or Uttar<br/>Pradesh.<br/>A lot of anti-Brahmin movements in the<br/>southern states and Maharashtra before<br/>independence created a great deal of socio-<br/>political awakening among the masses. The<br/>movements organized by the left parties after<br/>1947 have further added to the persisting<br/>anti-Brahmin and anti-landlord thinking<br/>among the dalits. Despite all these<br/>antithetical tendencies, caste persists, and in<br/>some cases even the upper caste leaders of<br/>the left parties have been found as the<br/>biggest landlords in Kerala and some other<br/>parts of India. Caste seems to have its decline<br/>and revival at the same time, and this is<br/>possible because caste is appropriated by a<br/>select group of people to their economic and<br/>political advantages. The volume highlights on<br/>these and several other aspects of caste-class<br/>and class-caste nexus from historical as well<br/>as contemporary perspective. It would help<br/>teachers, researchers, students and policy-<br/>makers immensely by providing a panoramic<br/>view of the interpenetrating but not mutually<br/>reducible phenomenon of caste and class in<br/>India
