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. Showing how Dalit experiences of environment are ridden with metaphors of pollution, impurity and dirt, the author is able to bring forth new dimensions on both environment and Dalits, without valourising the latter's standpoint. 000812246 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on February 28, 2018). 000812246 650_0 $$aCaste$$zIndia$$xHistory. 000812246 650_0 $$aCaste$$xSocial aspects$$zIndia. 000812246 650_0 $$aCaste$$xReligious aspects$$xHinduism. 000812246 650_0 $$aCaste$$xPolitical aspects$$zIndia. 000812246 650_0 $$aDalits$$xReligious life$$zIndia. 000812246 650_0 $$aEnvironmentalism$$xReligious aspects$$xHinduism. 000812246 650_0 $$aEnvironmentalism$$xPolitical aspects$$zIndia. 000812246 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9780199477562 000812246 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000812246 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199477562.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000812246 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:812246$$pGLOBAL_SET 000812246 980__ $$aEBOOK 000812246 980__ $$aBIB 000812246 982__ $$aEbook 000812246 983__ $$aOnline
