Castes of Mind: Colonialism and the Making of Modern India

The british did not invent caste but they exploited it to the hilt to divide the pluralistic Indian society.The thesis of the book matters. The thought provoking nature of the book is more valuable than its contents.Columbia and Chicago are doing a valuable job of undoing or atleast explaining the british (and german) rape on indian history. A thinking that an objective history can be written, like conducting a laboratory experiment where an observer is independent of the thing that is observed, is a major fallacy . No more attacks of scientific methods on humanities please!
