Caste matters: Suraj Yengde's book on caste in the 21st century

Caste Matters, the stunning new book by Suraj Yengde, invokes the personal and the political to provide us a searing perspective of caste in 21st century India. Partha Chatterjee calls it “A book that demands to be read”. Anand Teltumbde writes, “Caste Matters is an experiential exposition of the hidden side of caste by a promising young scholar who has risen from the dark alleys of his childhood to the academic dazzle of iconic Harvard”. The Bangalore launch of this book features Ramachandra Guha, Menaka Guruswamy, Grace Banu and Achal Prabhala engaging in a discussion with the author.

    Dear SURAJ, Your Caste Matters is creating History in whole country, especially into the so called civilised society. Every experience and the events you mentioned are symbolically society's stigma. The Caste has damaged even the savarnas is opening their eyes. I would say Caste Matters is expansion of what Great Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar has pointed out in his Historic research " The Caste In India...." All Dear Indian brother and sisters please try to understand Surajs message. We will not become a nation until we didn't destroy CASTE. I salute.

    Those occupations like accountant, security, labour, management were practiced hierarchically based on their birth, right? Priest's son will become priest, army's son will become army, labourer's son will become labourer etc etc ..... that's why it was called caste system, if there was enough freedom among them so they could choose their profession as per their will , we could call it Varna system. By the way, it does not matter wherever you call it , in the past people didn't have freedom of occupation which oppressed the people working at the bottom, even today in villages this system is practiced which is a social evil.

    I am a PhD student in an IIT, in pure science. Once our department's admin shared the caste breakup in our dept out of ignorance Out of 46 students 40 are general category 4 are OBC and 1 is SC i.e. me no ST no Minority. A similar trend is across IITs. Recent survey showed, out of approx 6300 profs in IITs around India, only 149 belong to SC and SCs are 20% of India's population. IIMs are even worse.
