Summary: While, a lot has been written about the need to 'decolonize' animal studies and wildlife conservation, there is no discussion or attempt to 'de-brahminize' animal studies and conservation science in India. Similarly, some animals and birds are positioned as superior in the Brahmanical social order, others seem to be subordinated and are associated with certain 'inferior' caste groups. Beings and Beasts discusses the relations between humans and animals of marginalized societies, especially of Dalits and Tribals. It analyses the various ways of perceiving the 'conjoint' living and examines it from multiple perspectives and disciplinary lenses. Interdisciplinary work on ecology, human-animal relations, and animal studies from a perspective grounded in the humanities Covers caste-based relations to animals which is currently absent in Environmental Studies https://www.cambridge.org/tf/universitypress/subjects/politics-international-relations/south-asian-government-politics-and-policy/beings-and-beasts-human-animal-relations-margins?format=HB
