Summary of The Shudra by Jalalul Haq PDF
Vedic literature has the same word for both man and God--purusha. The Vedic seers ritually sacrifice Purusha, the God, thereby also killing purusha, the spiritual-cultural man. This births the 'caste-man', who is not man at all. The caste-man is either higher or lower. A handful are superhuman: gods, priests, Brahmans. And the masses are subhuman: the Shudra. In The Shudra, Jalalul Haq conducts a philosophical autopsy of ancient Indian texts, meticulously reading between the lines to uncover the early history of caste. He shows how inequality pervaded Buddhism, Jainism and other heterodox sects, even as they tried to counter the hegemony of Brahmanism. In this clash of gods and demons, Haq attempts to extract the human.
