Viac o knihe

Focusing on the Yadavs, a historically marginalized caste in North India, this ethnographic exploration delves into how democracy is socially and culturally rooted in Indian society. It examines the transformation of the Yadavs into a politically assertive community, highlighting their influence on popular politics and the broader implications for democratic practices in the region. Through this lens, the book offers insights into the dynamics of power and identity within the context of Indian democracy.
