The book \“Caste and Race in India\“ was authored by the renowned Indian sociologist and anthropologist G.S. Ghurye. Published in 1932, this seminal work provides a comprehensive analysis of the caste system in India and its relationship with racial theories.
In this influential book, Ghurye examines the historical development of the caste system, its social structure, and the various theories about its racial origins. He critically analyzes the then-popular racial theories that attempted to explain caste divisions and presents his own sociological perspective on the institution.
The work remains a foundational text in Indian sociology and continues to be referenced by scholars studying social stratification, caste dynamics, and the intersection of race and social hierarchy in the Indian context. |
