The caste hierarchy has been widely recognized as the dominant force shaping Indian society. In this insightful book, the author delves into its significance among the highly educated middle class in the Tamil town of Madurai. As members of this privileged group, young graduates create egalitarian constellations by challenging the boundaries imposed by the caste system. Stephanie Stocker's research explores the dynamics of these friendships within broader social contexts, revealing that the actors engage in supportive networks throughout various career and marriage events. Contrary to assuming these relationships to exist in a separate and "alternative" category, Stocker's study proposes a dynamic character of friendship that remains aligned with Indian values of hierarchy.
