| Summary, etc | The Supreme Court’s judgment in Sukanya Shanthav Union of India is examined as a significant moment in exposing the caste-structured foundations of India’s carceral system. Moving beyond the Court’s condemnation of explicit caste-based practices in prison manuals, the analysis critiques the entrenched ideology of caste-blind reformism and highlights how caste shapes forced labour, hidden discriminatory practices, the criminalisation of denotified tribes, and the institutional structure of prison. Dismantling caste discrimination requires confronting structural casteism, not merely removing its visible markers.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/51/perspectives/prison-caste.html |
