Subordinate and Marginal Groups in Early India (Oxford in India Readings: Themes in Indian History)

This collection of eleven essays, part of the Themes in Indian History Series, discusses different historiographical approaches to the study of subordinate and marginal groups in early India. Parasher-Sen attempts to understand the historical roots of social oppression and exclusion in the subcontinent, thus making an early historical phenomenon directly relevant to an issue that causes concern even today.
