The Political Role of India’s Caste Associations

The article below was originally published in Pacific Affairs, Volume 33, No. 1, March 1960. We are re-publishing it here, with additional commentary. I consider this exercise to be of considerable importance in an age where “memory” even in scholarly circles is vanishingly brief and examples of “reinventing the wheel” with new jargon abound. Thoughtful engagement and reconsideration of substantive work from previous decades seems to me a concrete and useful way to address these problems and enrich our collective enterprise. – Editor
