The notion of conversion has been a contentious subject in India
today. This fascinating monograph explores questions related to
this issue, examining it from within the framework of social
History. In this work the author delineates the evolution of the
caste system in Orissa, in the south eastern part of the country
over the colonial period. He highlights the life of the tribals and
the untouchables who were involved in this process. Besides
interrogating many commonly held assumptions, the author opts for a
flexible and interactional paradigm. As a result, this study
accommodates a whole range of features related to the historical
contexts and the complexities generated by the process of
conversion. This work would be useful for historians, social
anthropologists and political sociologists. It will also attract
the ordinary reader who would be interested in understanding the
dynamics of Indian society and the challenges that it faces.
