Caste Matters | Suraj Yengde in conversation with Surinder S Jodhka
Suraj Yengde's explosive book, Caste Matters, challenges deep-seated beliefs about caste and unpacks its many layers. Describing his lived experiences, he brings to light the immovable glass ceiling that exists for Dalits in politics, bureaucracy and the judiciary while providing an unflinching account of the internal caste divisions within the community itself. In conversation with academic, writer and sociologist Surinder S Jodhka, Yengde reveals how caste crushes human creativity and is disturbingly similar to other forms of oppression, such as race, class and gender.
Suraj Yengde is a DPhil candidate at the Faculty of History, University of Oxford. He is the author of the bestseller, Caste Matters (2019) and a co-editor of the award-winning anthology, The Radical in Ambedkar: Critical Reflections (2018). His articles have appeared in Ethnic & Racial Studies, Diaspora Studies, Caravan, Seminar, and Economic & Political Weekly, among others. He is a columnist at the Indian Express, running the only caste-centric column anywhere in the world. He is currently working on two manuscripts. The first is Caste, A History of the World, and the second is a biography of Dr B R Ambedkar. Dr. Yengde is a founder and curator of the Dalit Film Festival and co-founder of the Equity in Policy Education initiative started at Harvard.
Surinder S. Jodhka is professor of Sociology at the Jawaharlal Nehru University and fellow at the Centre de Sciences Humaines, New Delhi. He has published extensively, including Caste, Caste in Contemporary India and a co-edited work entitled Mapping the Elite: Power, Privilege, and Inequality. He is editor of the Routledge book series, Religion and Citizenship.
