Given our preoccupation with the idea of the Brahmin, the absence of detailed studies on the Brahmin---in embodied form, as a person or community---is striking to say the least. Being Brahmin, Being Modern attempts to address this lacuna by offering an ethnographic study of the Brahmins of contemporary Karnataka. Pushing beyond the familiar but limiting binaries of legitimation-resistance, the book focuses on the many lives of modern caste. It argues that the Brahmin of today cannot be seen as a caste-self that masks its casteness in order to present itself as modern/secular. The central tension that animates the Brahmin self is that of being both Brahmin and modern.
