Book Review: ‘SIVASYA KULAM: Decoding Caste, Untouchability And White Man’s Burden’ By MVNL Sudha Mohan

This book by Sudha Mohan breaks many of the myths surrounding the ‘caste system’. A deep study of the book helps one to realize that the various groups across the country—the ‘forward’ castes, the ‘backward’ castes, the ‘scheduled’ castes, and the scheduled ‘tribes’ are the diverse jatis with all kinds of practices, an array of flowers in the same garden of India as Hindus.
