Book Summary
About the Book: The Vulgarity of Caste: Dalits, Sexuality, and Humanity in
Modern India
Tamasha is a secular, traveling, public theatre practiced predominantly by
Dalits for centuries. The artform spread like a wildfire in the entertainment
market in colonial Maharashtra. Its mixture of humor, sexuality, and bombast
offered a forbidding combination of the commercial and the lowbrow. Central to
these performances were the Dalit Tamasha women who represented both the desire
and disgust of a patriarchal society.
The Vulgarity of Caste offers the first social and intellectual history of
Tamasha. Drawing on untapped archival materials, ethnographies, popular writings
and films, Shailaja Paik uncovers how Dalit performers, activists, and leaders
negotiated
