Description

Arthur Maurice Hocart's Revival Caste (1950) presents a comparative study that challenges the notion of the Indian caste system as an isolated phenomenon. Instead, he argues that it is part of a broader genus of social systems.

By examining localised specialism and its relationship to truth, Hocart demonstrates the value of comparative study in understanding complex social structures. This approach not only sheds light on the subject but also saves time by cutting through controversy and tangled debates.

This book offers a nuanced exploration of the Indian caste system, one that seeks to uncover its underlying principles and connections to other similar systems. For those interested in social science, history, or ethnic studies, Revival Caste (1950) provides a thought-provoking analysis of a fascinating topic.
