| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Blindness of Insight: Essays on Caste in Modern India" by Dilip M. Menon critically explores caste as a deeply embedded social system in India, challenging common understandings by viewing it through the lenses of Marxist and postcolonial theory. Menon argues that caste, while often viewed as a religious issue, is fundamentally a social and economic structure that intersects with class and power. By examining how caste permeates modern Indian identity, the book re-evaluates traditional narratives and calls for a nuanced understanding of caste’s impact on contemporary society.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> |
