Abstract

Caste has bounded Indian civilization and culture historically and continues to do so as it transitions Into neoliberal space and time. India's growth story of the last two decades promises a sustainable revolution of sorts in the subcontinent's material sphere. Rapid urbanization, growth of the middle classes, decreasing poverty, and lightning changes in consomption patterns point to a secure future full of opportunities and development. In real terms this means that by 2025 a continual rise in personal Incomes will spur a tenfold increase, enlarging the middle class to about 583 million people, or 4-1 percent of the population (Beinhocker, Farrell, and Zainulbhal, 2007). In absolute numbers, by 2025 India's wealthiest citizens will total 24 million, more than the current population of Australia.
