Exploring the unique history of the Satnamis in Central India, this book examines their dual identity as both a caste and a sect, challenging traditional Hindu rituals and power structures. It delves into the complexities of gender dynamics and social inequalities within the community, utilizing a blend of historical and anthropological perspectives. By addressing themes of caste, kinship, and the interplay between religion and power, the work presents a nuanced narrative of how the Satnamis navigate their identity and history amidst broader societal changes.
