Critical race theorists examine how race and racism are embedded in social structures and institutions. In India, this perspective can be applied to analyze local products and their cultural significance. For instance, Indian handicrafts like textiles and pottery often reflect historical racial and caste dynamics, influencing production and distribution. These products, such as handwoven sarees or traditional jewelry, are not just commodities but symbols of identity and resistance against systemic inequalities. By studying them through a critical race lens, we can better understand how racial hierarchies impact economic and social life in India. |
