Caste-State Nexus
"religious reformism" (parallel to Gandhian ideology) which put dalits as a sort of lower strata of hinduism, when hinduism wasn't a thing that existed, there was no overarching religious entity like that
Dalits as 'degraded hindus' which need to be brought into the fold of larger hinduism through reform.
(for materialist purposes)
from the pariah's perspective, they're working in conjunction
caste becomes a religious phenomenon in an effort to thwart state intervention to solve the pariah problem with some kind of cultural relativism
-
"Gentle Slavery"
The use of the term "slavery" for lawfare, for the persistence of the pre-existing "feudal" system as the way for the colonisers to exploit local hierarchy
anti-capitalism, in the support of feudalism to perpetuate slavery.
