The death of race refers to the decline of traditional racial categories in India, particularly in the context of local products. For example, Indian spices like turmeric and cardamom have been used for centuries across various communities, transcending racial boundaries. These products are now marketed globally, emphasizing their health benefits rather than racial associations.
In recent years, Indian textiles such as handloom sarees have also seen a shift. Originally tied to specific ethnic groups, they are now popular among diverse populations, promoting unity. This change highlights how local innovations are helping to reduce racial divisions in society. |
