This book examines the politics of social, cultural and political
recognition of caste groups in North India. It explores the factors
that make some castes politically influential, while others
continue to remain socially and economically marginalized. The
author situates these groups within democracy and utilizes a
multicultural framework to understand why and when various castes
have sought to achieve recognition and redistributive justice; to
what extent different castes have been able to achieve these goals;
and how civil society has engaged with these issues. Unlike
dominant discourses on caste and democracy, which give primacy to
electoral/procedural democracy over the substantive one, this book
views the relationship between castes and the state in both
dimensions of democracy. An important addition to the study of
caste politics in India, the volume will be of great interest to
scholars and researchers of social exclusion, development studies,
minority studies, sociology and social policy, politics, and South
Asian studies. It will also be of importance to politicians, policy
makers, and civil society activists.
