Republic Of Caste by Anand Teltumbde
From Gandhi to Ambedkar and Beyond
A trenchant critique of how caste remains the organizing principle of Indian society despite constitutional promises, arguing that discriminatory hierarchies are embedded in the state, economy and institutions rather than being merely social customs. The author analyzes the interplay of neoliberal reforms, communal politics and institutional bias to show how economic liberalization and majoritarian politics have often reinforced upper-caste dominance, limited the impact of affirmative action, and normalized violence against marginalized communities. Combining historical perspective with contemporary case studies, the book calls for a structural rethinking of democracy and social justice that addresses both caste and class to dismantle entrenched inequality.
