The category of "caste" has had a long history both in and out of the Indian subcontinent, one that is frequently intertwined with that of "race" From H. H. Risley's use of late-nineteenth century European race science in anthropometric research, to Max Mueller's articu...

520 |a The category of "caste" has had a long history both in and out of the Indian subcontinent, one that is frequently intertwined with that of "race" From H. H. Risley's use of late-nineteenth century European race science in anthropometric research, to Max Mueller's articulation of the Aryan theory of race and pan-Africanist expressions of racial solidarity with the lower castes of India, caste has frequently been redefined and politicized by being drawn into wider discourses about race. Informed by this complex history, this essay asks how "race" and "caste" have come to serve as key metaphors of socio-political struggle, illuminating one-another and emerging as potent rhetorical strategies of social critique, particularly in India but increasingly also in more global contexts. I argue that Dalit groups in contemporary India move their concerns into global forums such as the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism by appropriating ideas about caste and religion that have long been used to mystify the local and "native" inhabitants-ideas that are themselves the subjects of established ethnographic critique. As such, this essay remains aware of the difficulties of bringing anthropological concerns to bear on analyses of on-going political struggle.
