About this listen
In this explosive book, Suraj Yengde, a first-generation Dalit scholar educated across continents, challenges deep-seated beliefs about caste and unpacks its many layers. He describes his gut-wrenching experiences of growing up in a Dalit basti, the multiple humiliations suffered by Dalits on a daily basis, and their incredible resilience enabled by love and humour. As he brings to light the immovable glass ceiling that exists for Dalits even in politics, bureaucracy, and judiciary, Yengde provides an unflinchingly honest account of divisions within the Dalit community itself - from their internal caste divisions to the conduct of elite Dalits and their tokenized forms of modern-day untouchability - all operating under the inescapable influences of Brahminical doctrines.
This path-breaking book reveals how caste crushes human creativity and is disturbingly similar to other forms of oppression, such as race, class, and gender. At once a reflection on inequality and a call to arms, Caste Matters argues that until Dalits lay claim to power and Brahmins join hands against Brahminism to effect real transformation, caste will continue to matter.

Must Read
A must read book to awaken oneself to the horrific aspects of Caste and the Caste-System. This system must be annihilated at all costs. We all need to come together . By we I mean every single Indian citizen . It's eradication will pave the way for making India a great nation otherwise India will remain one heterogeneous mess.

Caste matters until annihilated
A necessary work in today's times, when we see a resurgence of caste identities and assertions based on caste privilege.... caste matters until annihilated.

Great insight!
Yengde gives a great insight into Dalit issues....it is refreshing to hear a Dalit voice on caste matters, we have for too long heard only the denialist, savarna voices on this painful reality, which Yengde chronicles in detail and without apologist trappings.

Beware! not an easy listen!
This book will shake you, no matter how "woke" you are. There are many unpalatable parts. But it will give you a perspective on casteism and Dalit politics you don't get from the media.
