Abstract

Stemming essentially from D. L. Sheth and the work embodied in his 1999 essay ‘Secularisation of Caste and Making of New Middle Class’, the article attempts to outline the pathways for an alternative engagement with caste and politics. In perspective is what is termed the ‘triumphalist’ mode of encountering caste identities; and, along this course, the extant possibilities of the constructivist understanding of caste are addressed. The stakes of the exercise are largely theoretical and conceptual, although a further thought is thrown in about the contemporary ground of caste politics in India as well.

种姓与印度政治:d·l·谢斯的迂回之路

这篇文章主要源于D. L. Sheth和他1999年的文章《种姓世俗化和新中产阶级的形成》中的作品，试图概述种姓和政治的另一种参与途径。这就是所谓的“必胜主义”模式面对种姓身份;并且，在这个过程中，现存的种姓的建构主义理解的可能性被解决。这种做法的利害关系很大程度上是理论性和概念性的，尽管人们还进一步思考了印度种姓政治的当代基础。

期刊介绍： SIP will publish research writings that seek to explain different aspects of Indian politics. The Journal adopts a multi-method approach and will publish articles based on primary data in the qualitative and quantitative traditions, archival research, interpretation of texts and documents, and secondary data. The Journal will cover a wide variety of sub-fields in politics, such as political ideas and thought in India, political institutions and processes, Indian democracy and politics in a comparative perspective particularly with reference to the global South and South Asia, India in world affairs, and public policies. While such a scope will make it accessible to a large number of readers, keeping India at the centre of the focus will make it target-specific.
