Review Quotes:
"The most populous country on the planet may be majority Hindu, but there is no single identity or politics that defines India's vast migrant population. Caste, Country, and Creed reveals in rich detail how social justice work and community activism to combat caste and religious discrimination unite and uplift Indians abroad. These are migrants' stories, filled with pain and the promise of a better future, that are so needed in this moment."
