Annihilation of Caste in India

Annihilation of Caste in India

This book offers a critical re-examination of the relationship between caste and class. Singh demystifies caste based on a comparative analysis between a Weberian and Marxian understanding of power. He rejects Max Weber’s account of caste as rooted in culture which Weber saw as analytically distinct from the economic and political power.
