The face of a forgotten part,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caste and Capitalism in Colonial India: The Nattukottai Chettiars (Hardcover)
David Rudner had taken pains to write about a system which does'nt normally attract the attention of the outside world but should be. He has dealt with it very excellently, concentrating on the common thread that pass through religion social and business practices. By doing so he has brought to light the case of nattukottai chettiars who have practiced globalisation long time back. His writing gives optimism on the system which at first sight will not look right. He had seen the right side of it. His flow of language is very good. And i hope he continues writing on things which is not noticed by the outside world. A job well done.

Didn't say the cruelty of the caste system,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caste and Capitalism in Colonial India: The Nattukottai Chettiars (Paperback)
A reader from CA wrote that this book describes the positive side of the caste sytem. There is no positive side for the evil caste system as there is no positive side for racism. Denying the ugly nature of this sytem is like denying slavery and holocaust and an insult to the agelong sufferings of the untouchables and other non-brahmins in India.
