Caste, Entrepreneurship and the Illusions of Tradition: Branding the Potters of Kolkata - Diversity and Plurality in South Asia
Geir Heierstad
This ethnographic study is an empirical exploration of caste through the story of Indian potters who have transformed caste into a marketable brand in the business of selling sculptures. To these contemporary potters, caste is in their blood, caste is about being a creative and independent artist, and caste is about business, as they engage in a competitive market to sell their artworks.
