This book is a collection of essays based on the thoughts generated by teaching courses and doing research related to the sociology of education and sociology of law over the years in TISS. It compiles theorizations, judgements, consequences, and ramifications to present a collection of free-thinking essays around the interrelated themes of caste, reservation, atrocity law, and discrimination. While it takes into account existing thinking on particular matters, it also reaches new junctures and presents them to the reader. Among other topics, this book also details the academic strategy for undermining caste, discusses the popular polemic around reservation, and explores the interface between criminal law and caste.
