BR - wl-2673-Navigating Hierarchies: Debating the Nath-Yogis' Place in Caste Politics; Caste, Marginalisation, and Resistance: The Politics of Identity of the Naths (Yogis) of Bengal and Assam by Kunal Debnath, Leiden: Brill, 2023; pp 240, €131.
The review reveals the complex dynamics of caste politics affecting the Naths' identity in Bengal and Assam.
Debnath's analysis discusses marginalisation faced by the Naths, suggesting their resistance strategies within caste hierarchies.
The examination of identity politics provides insight into the socio-political landscape of Bengal and Assam concerning Naths.
Understanding the Naths' place within caste politics highlights broader issues of social inequality and marginalisation.
