About the Book:

If the Hindu Caste system is an anathema to some, it is positively like a red rag to a bull, to a few others. All the same, it is very doubtful if these persons have stopped practicing it in their own lives! This Monograph is an honest attempt to present the subject in all its aspects, without pride or prejudice. After weighing the pros and cons of the question, the reader is free to draw his own conclusions.

If this brochure helps the beleaguered Hindu society to get a few more rays of light, may be, through the very chinks it is supposed to have, the writer feels immensely rewarded.
