Synopsis
In four essays that position caste as the central faultline of modern India, Dilip Menon argues why the use of violence in the maintenance of caste hierarchy remains the central occluded fact of Indian society: so present, yet so invisible.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Signed. Signed dedication by author. In The Blindness of Insight, historian Dilip Menon examines how dominant narratives of Indian history have been shaped by colonial frameworks, inherited assumptions and selective memory. Through sharp, reflective essays, he challenges conventional interpretations of nationalism, caste, identity and modernity, urging readers to reconsider how histories are constructed and whose voices are centred. Thought-provoking and intellectually rigorous, this volume appeals to students of postcolonial studies, South Asian history and readers interested in critical approaches to historical writing.
