DESCRIPTION:Historicizing Caste Exclusion by Ajay Rao\, Associate Professor
 \, University of Toronto\, March 21\, 2024 at 4:00 PM EDT\, Birks Building
 \, Room 100 (Senior Common Room)\, 3520 University Street.\n\nThe argument
  in Vedānta interpretations of the apaśūdrādhikaraṇa (1.3.34-38) for a rig
 id hierarchy of knowledge represents perhaps the most extensive evidence a
 vailable to us of premodern theoretical justifications for caste exclusion
  and the cultural oppression of śūdras and Dalits. Taking these Sanskrit p
 hilosophical abstractions as socially symbolic acts\, I examine how they g
 ive voice to brahminical anxieties about non-brahmin cultural power and kn
 owledge at a time when 'śūdra' had undergone radical transformation as a s
 ocial category.\n\nFrom McGill's School of Religious Studies and Institute
  of Islamic Studies.\n
