CASTE AND NATURE : DALITS AND INDIAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS
MUKUL SHARMA
CASTE AND NATURE : DALITS AND INDIAN ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS - 1 - NEW DELHI OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 2017 - 296
:
Rarely do Indian environmental discourses examine nature through the lens of caste. Whereas nature is considered as universal and inherent, caste is understood as a constructed historical and social entity. Mukul Sharma shows how caste and nature are intimately connected. He compares Dalit meanings of environment to ideas and practices of neo-Brahmanism and certain mainstreams of environmental thought.
