The book explores the significance of caste in Indian politics, highlighting its role as a source of collective identity and political mobilization, especially in electoral contexts. It traces the origins of the caste system from the Purusha Sukta of the Rigveda, categorizing society into four varnas. The rise of Hindu nationalism has influenced caste dynamics, particularly benefiting the Dalits through political quotas. The term 'Dalit,' meaning "broken," reflects the historical oppression faced by these communities, which have been referred to by various names throughout history.
