ABSTRACT:
Madhya Pradesh, often referred to as the "Heart of India," has played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of caste dynamics in India. From its ancient tribal societies to the rigid hierarchical structures of the medieval and colonial periods, and later to its post-independence reforms, the state presents a microcosm of caste evolution in India. This research paper examines the historical trajectory of caste in Madhya Pradesh, highlighting its transformations over time, with references to key historical events, cultural practices, and socio-political movements.
