Ep. 7 - Caste as Inheritance: Rank, Power, and the Politics of the Indian State (w/ Dr. Pavithra Suryanarayan, LSE)

In this episode of Politically Insane, host V. Prakash sits down with Pavithra Suryanarayan, Associate Professor in the Department of Government at the London School of Economics, to unpack one of the most consequential and misunderstood forces in Indian politics: caste. But this isn't a conversation about caste simply as identity or ethnicity. Suryanarayan argues that to truly understand how caste shapes political behavior, you have to understand it as rank -a form of inherited social standing that functions more like aristocracy or racial hierarchy than like religion or tribe.Drawing on her research across India and the post-Civil War American South Suryanarayan explains why threatened elites - from upper-caste groups in India to white coalitions in the Reconstruction-era South - consistently respond to social integration not by competing harder, but by weakening the very state institutions that might level the playing field. She also offers a striking new lens on the BJP's electoral dominance: a welfare strategy built deliberately around direct transfers that deliver material benefits to the poor without ever blurring the caste boundaries that its upper-caste base is most anxious to preserve.
