This revisionist history of caste politics in twentieth-century
Bengal argues that the decline of this form of political
mobilization in the region was as much the result of coercion as of
consent. It traces this process through the political career of
Jogendranath Mandal, the leader of the Dalit movement in eastern
India and a prominent figure in the history of India and Pakistan,
over the transition of Partition and Independence. Utilising
Mandal's private papers, this study reveals both the strength and
achievements of his movement for Dalit recognition, as well as the
major challenges and constraints he encountered. Departing from
analyses that have stressed the role of integration, Dwaipayan Sen
demonstrates how a wide range of coercions shaped the eventual
defeat of Dalit politics in Bengal. The region's acclaimed
'castelessness' was born of the historical refusal of Mandal's
struggle to pose the caste question.
