"Kshatriyas And Would-be Kshatriyas" examines the claims of various Hindu castes aspiring to be recognized alongside the Rájputs, who are considered descendants of the ancient Kshatriyas. This study delves into the complex social dynamics and historical contexts that shape caste identities and hierarchies within Indian society.
Kumar Cheda Singh Varma provides a detailed consideration of the arguments and evidence presented by these castes, offering insights into the socio-political landscape of the time. The book explores the criteria used to determine Kshatriya status and the implications of such classifications on social standing and power. This work is valuable for those interested in Indian history, sociology, and the intricacies of caste systems.
