Ācāra-Mūlā Jāti
How ācāra shaped, sustained, and adapted the varṇa–jāti–kula framework.
Mylavarapu V.N.L. Sudha Mohan is an aviation professional by vritti, but his pravrutti lies in learning Shastras. He is a Nitya Vidyarthi who is in pursuit of Satya and Gnana. He is also interested in decolonisation and in understanding Dharmic systems and structures in their entirety. Inspired by this quest, he has authored several books in English and Telugu. His latest Telugu work, titled Aangleyulu Srushtinchina Panchama Jati (The British-Created Fifth Caste), was recently published in Sanchika (an online portal) and deals with how the British institutionalized labels such as Panchama, Untouchable, and Outcaste for certain Jatis.
