Caste System and its Dynamics in Telugu states:

Telugu-speaking states, namely, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh cannot be fully understood without understanding the caste dynamics. Durgam Ravinder will give us an understanding of how many castes are there? Who are upper-castes? Who are lower-castes (or backward castes)? What are the internal structures and the dynamics between Backward castes and Scheduled castes? How caste system was used to control the dominance of few castes over the others? What is the role of caste Puranas (i.e. epic of each caste) in developing a caste ideology to keep the people within the caste-related professions? What is the role of caste system presently in social life and politics?

He will also explain how the management structure of modern Multinational Companies (MNCs) is ideologically very similar to the ancient discriminatory and exploitative Caste system of India.

This talk will be in Telugu.

All are welcome.
