Varna Vyavastha: Beyond Jaati and Caste Building social justice, Dignity and Opportunity for all

Author Name: Subodh Katiyar | Format: Paperback | Genre : Religion & Spirituality | Other Details

The Complete Framework of Varna, Jāti, and Caste: A book which may end discrimination.

Utilizing the author's extensive research on social behavior and Astronomy, this book aims to free the society from the clutches of Jaati and Caste.

This book offers the first integrated reconstruction of the Indic social order by bringing together textual traditions, historical institutions, and socio-economic organization into a coherent analytical model. Moving beyond ideological interpretations and fragmented academic debates, it argues that jāti formations evolved from functional and occupational collectivities rooted in earlier śreṇi (guild) structures — transforming over time under political, economic, and colonial pressures.

Where existing literature often treats caste through modern sociology, colonial anthropology, or contemporary politics, this work returns to indigenous categories and intellectual foundations. It distinguishes clearly between varna as a conceptual schema, jāti as social organization, and caste as a later interpretive framework, demonstrating how the conflation of these categories shaped modern misunderstandings.

Drawing from classical sources, historical analysis, and comparative social theory, the book argues-:

Varna, jāti, and caste as distinct yet interacting institutions
• Jāti evolved from work-based communities linked to guild traditions
•  Social Discrimination is indoctrination induced OCD.

Subodh Katiyar

Subodh K. is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges technology, philosophy, and social thought. Trained in engineering and holding a Master’s degree in Information Technology, with academic honors in philosophy, his research brings analytical and systems-based approaches to the study of classical Indic texts and social theory.

His scholarship focuses on the intersection of Vedic literature, intellectual history, and sociology, examining how concepts such as varna, jaati, and caste evolved through processes of interpretation, institutionalization, and historical transformation. Combining technical reasoning with philosophical inquiry, he applies interdisciplinary methods drawn from systems analysis, textual interpretation, and social theory to revisit foundational assumptions about hierarchy and social organization in early Indian thought.

Varna Vyavastha: Beyond Jaati and Caste reflects his ongoing research into the relationship between cosmology, symbolism, and social structures, seeking to connect classical textual traditions with contemporary global discussions on inequality and social stratification.
