Description
This audio narration looks at the idea of caste as a hidden social structure—an underlying “grammar” that quietly assigns value, power, and limits to groups of people, even when a society insists it has moved beyond such divisions.
Moving chapter by chapter, it connects American history to patterns also seen in India and even studied by Nazi Germany, showing how inherited status, separation, dehumanization, and fear can persist long after laws change. Along the way, it offers gentle, practical ways to notice bias, interrupt stereotypes, and build more human connection.
