The Grammar of Caste - Ashwini (Professor Deshpande - Bog

This book examines the contemporary nature of caste disparities in India by using a framework that integrates discussions on caste from other social science disciplines with those from within economics.

Offering evidence based on economic analysis, itquestions commonly-held views and challenges traditional wisdom.
