초록
This paper makes an attempt at a reconstruction of conception of caste in Marx based on certain specific observations he made in several of his works including the last and important work Capital. It derives the conception of caste from a set of relevant economic categories such as use value, exchange value, mental labour, manual labour, labour power, etc. It explains as to how castes rest on a particular kind of division of labour. The paper makes relevant observations with regard to the ‘freedom’of lower castes to choose the occupation of their choice. It proposes a proletarian revolutionary program aimed at the elimination of caste system. Further, it tries to explain the political context that gave rise to non-proletarian movements that claim to be anti-caste in nature.
