520			_aTHIS BOOK is the third edition of Dr. Ghurye's famous work Caste and Race in India, published in 1932 in the History of Civiliza- tion Series. The history of the ancient and mediæval forms of the institution of caste as told in that book has now become generally accepted. The analysis of the then recent and contemporary trends in caste, which was not palatable to many because of its frankness, has been proved by later events to be too true. The viewpoint that caste is only an exaggerated aspect of class, set out in the book almost for the first time, has become current among sociologists. As a study in privileg- ed grouping the book has an inter- national appeal. In view of the truth of the author's previous diagnosis and prognosis of this ins- titution his analysis and exhortation embodied in the fresh chapter on Scheduled Castes and the last one on Class must command respectful attention. This new edition also includes an up-to-date chapter on Race which was dropped in the earlier one.
