TOWARDS CASTE MAJORITARIANISM? Towards caste majoritarianism? I was recently forced to overhear a conversation between strangers, two Indian women, who met on the Bhopal-Delhi Shatabdi Express. They quickly zeroed in on each other’s caste. One was a Kayastha (a privileged non-Brahmin) and theMY DIRTY BREATH
This poem portrays how acutely the sense of caste persists among many so-called ‘upper’ castes – how it oftentimes lurks just under the skin: suffused with my dirty breath. These lines prepare the reader to face a poet driven by rage at the upper castes, NEOLIBERALISM, FOREIGN AID AND TRADE UNIONS IN NEPAL T he story of the economic transformation of the early 1990s is a fairly well-established one.
