Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the complex social structure of the Indo-Aryans, this book delves into the concept of Chaturvarnya, which divides society into four classes, emphasizing the systemic inequality that places Shudras at the bottom. It reveals how this hierarchy is not merely theoretical but entrenched in legal and social practices, leading to significant discrimination and limitations on the Shudras' status. With the Shudra population estimated at 75 to 80 percent of Hindus, the book highlights the critical nature of their plight and the need for deeper understanding of their societal position.
