India  : Caste, Culture and Traditions 

 - Revised and Enlarged Edition

 - xiv, 537p 
<br/><br/> The caste, though the most important social institution of this country, is the most misunderstood one. It has undergone a lot of changes during the last millennium and to a large extent, it is a post-Turk phenomenon in its present form. The perception haziness about the caste, and about India's culture and tradition, is due to colonial myth-making and growing culture and tradition illiteracy of the educated Indians. The book deals with various aspects of caste, culture and traditions of India. The author has added nine chapters and three annexures, mostly related to the scheduled tribes, in this enlarged edition of the book, keeping in view the need of removing perceptional haziness about caste tribe continuum.
