India’s caste system is often explained as an ancient, unchanging social order — but what if much of what we believe about caste is actually shaped, reshaped, and even manufactured across centuries?
In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most important books on caste, reservation, politics, and social justice in modern India. Using the chapter-wise structure as our guide, we explore how caste evolved from jati, how Brahminism, Buddhism, and Islam reshaped caste identities, and how the British colonial state constructed, codified, and froze caste into rigid categories we still live with today.

We uncover hidden histories — from British mechanisms of control, to the creation of the “Constitutional Caste,” to the Mandal movement that changed everything.
We break down data politics, miscounts, political ploys, and the rise of EWS, showing how numbers, narratives, and state policy have been used to both empower and erase communities.

This episode also examines the controversial idea of consensus-building in caste politics — how political parties manufacture agreement, suppress dissent, and shape public perception.
From OBC, EBC, MBC, to EWS — we explore the tangled web of reservation politics and why today’s debates are more complex than ever.

Finally, we discuss the future of reservation, the challenges ahead, and whether a real way out of this historical mess even exists.

If you want to understand India’s caste system beyond simplistic explanations, this episode is essential.
