A. (William Alexander) Caste Produced by Al Haines "Caste" by William Alexander Fraser is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the political and social tensions in India during the time of colonial rule, particularly focusing on the intrigues between local rulers and their relationships with the British. Among the key figures are Nana Sahib—adopted son of the Peshwa and a Brahmin who secretly harbors anti-British sentiments—and Captain Barlow, who is entangled in both personal and political conflicts, exploring themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the complexities of caste. The opening portion of the novel establishes a tense political atmosphere, where the Mahratta rulers Sindhia, Holkar, and Bhonsla plot against the British and the Resident Hodson at Poona remains suspicious of Nana Sahib, whose outward charm hides a deep animosity towards colonial powers. Barlow is introduced as a pivotal character, tasked with navigating these treacherous waters while also romantically involved with Hodson's daughter, Elizabeth. Meanwhile, plots are set into motion involving the ambitious Dandhu Panth, and the tension escalates as simmering cultural divides, personal vendettas, and the looming threat of violent rebellion shape the narrative. As these factions jockey for power and control, the intermingling of personal relationships and political machinations begins to unravel, hinting at the chaos to come.
