The little-known story of Gandhi's reluctance to challenge the caste system, and the man who fought fiercely for India's downtrodden.

To understand caste today in India, Roy insists we must examine the influence of Gandhi in shaping what India ultimately became: independent of British rule, globally powerful, and marked to this day by the...
