Yet the word itself is an importation from sixteenth-century Europe. This book tracks the long history of the practices amalgamated under this label and shows their connection to changing patterns of social and political power down to the present. It frames caste as an involuted and complex form of ethnicity and explains why it persisted under non-Hindu rulers and in non-Hindu communities across South Asia. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 44. 606 $aGroup identity$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aCaste$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zSouth Asia$xHistory 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory. 615 0$aCaste$xHistory. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/1220954 700 $aGuha$b Sumit$01170678 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790552503321 996 $aBeyond caste$93844794 997 $aUNINA
