Mitra, Roma

Caste Polarization and Politics - Patna Syndicate 1992 - 178 p.

What is caste and what leads to its polarization ? Roma Mitra dwells into this problem and examines the intellectual origins of caste and class with the causes and consequences of caste polarization.
There are often violent clashes between different castes, and heinous acts of atrocities committed on the lower sections of the society. Rivalry and prejudice between upper and lower castes and the resultant polarization has done considerable harm to the integrity of India.

CASTE POLARIZATION AND POLITICS draws on a wide range of sources and offers a new insight into the strong sentiments of caste orientation and will be of conside rable interest to all those concerned with the social and political behaviour of caste politics.
