520 |a This edited volume brings together a range of scholars to reflect on the varied ways in which caste is manifested and experienced in social life. Each chapter draws on different methods and approaches, while all consider lived experiences and experiential narrations. Considering Guru and Sarukkai’s path-breaking work on ‘Experience, Caste and the Everyday Social’ (2019), this volume applies the insights of the theories to multiple settings, issues and communities. Unique to this volume, Brahmin and other dominant castes' experiences are considered, rather than simply focusing on the lives of oppressed castes (Dalits). Analysis of cross-caste friendships or romances and marriages bring out the intimate and ingrained aspects of caste, and therefore, taken together, the contributions in this volume offer rich insights into caste and its consciousness within the framework of everyday experiences. Dhaneswar Bhoi isPostdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for South Asian Studies, School of Social and Political Science, at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He has studied Diversity, Equity and Inclusion courses at the University of Michigan, USA, and is interested in marginalisation, educational equity, access and inclusion, experiences of Dalits and tribes of India. Dhaneswar is the author of several articles and chapters in edited volumes including "Economic Growth, Development of Scheduled Castes and their Education: Line Drawn from Neoliberal Era in India", Contemporary Voices of Dalits (SAGE 2022), and “Living Conditions, Learning Status and Educational Performance of Tribal Students'' in (eds.) Tribal Development in India: Challenges and Prospects in Tribal Education (SAGE, 2020). Hugo Gorringe is Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Co-Director of the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. His research in India focuses on the socio-political mobilisation of Dalits (ex-Untouchables) and their struggle to achieve equality and deepen Indian democracy. He is an editorial board member of the journal Contemporary Voice of Dalit. He is the co-editor of Civility in Crisis, Democracy, Equality, and the Majoritarian Challenge in India (Routledge, 2021) and From the Margins to the Mainstream: Institutionalising Minorities in South Asia (SAGE, 2016). He is the sole author of Panthers in Parliament: Dalits, Caste and Political Power in South India (OUP, 2017) and Untouchable Citizens: Dalit Movements and Democratization in Tamil Nadu (SAGE, 2005). He has also published numerous articles and chapters on identity, violence, space, caste and politics. "This book brings new insights on the interrelational aspects of caste and untouchability, social and psychological, capturing inner most psychological harm, hurt, anguish, pain and humiliation faced by untouchables in normal daily interaction with higher caste, which is most difficult to capture. This book, however, does it is fairly successfully and makes a valuable addition to the theme which scholars will find extremely insightful." -Sukhadeo Thorat, Professor Emeritus, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi "Bhoi and Gorringe bring together an excellent set of essays that explore caste and its centrality in everyday life in India. This book is a valuable contribution to critical caste studies." - Suryakant Waghmore, Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.
