India's Constitution promises equality, justice, and fraternity - yet caste continues to shape lives, politics, and society. Beneath the Promise is a piercing examination of how an ancient hierarchy has endured into the 21st century, influencing governance, electoral politics, and everyday interactions.
Through a blend of history, law, and political analysis, Inniya PV traces caste's evolution from its roots to its entrenchment during colonial rule, its confrontation with the ideals of the Constitution, and its entanglement in modern-day electoral strategies. The book spotlights key leaders, from Ambedkar to Thiruvalluvar, whose visions challenge this inequality, and offers practical pathways toward an India united in diversity.
Deeply researched yet accessible, Beneath the Promise is not just a study - it's a call to action for policymakers, students, and citizens committed to dismantling one of India's most persistent social divisions.
