This book succinctly describes how the Tamil Society transformed from a classless to a caste hierarchical society. A phrase that needs to be noted to put your views in perspective is “traditional society perceived hierarchy in terms of holistic, whereas modern society perceives in terms of inequality”. This will give you a reason why things were the way they were in an era where no industrialisation, free market or monetary system were present.
Another eye-opener book which will make you push for a more free and hierarchy less society in your lifetime. You’ll definitely be a part of it.
Also, a great book to use for talks.
