Abstract
Every ideology has historical, cultural, national, social and political contexts. These contexts which form their background are important in understanding the inherent social, cultural, political and national structures. Marxist concept of ideology is helpful in understanding the casteism in our country. It can be fruitful to discuss Marxist ideology of Roland Barthes, Louis Althusser, a French Marxist philosopher, and Antonio Gramsci in order to dig deep into the casteism in India, which not only have a long history but it also has been constitutionalised by dividing the citizens in various caste-based categories. Claims are frequently made by almost all the political parties about the impossibilities of abolishment of caste-based sections from the constitution and hence the casteism itself. In this paper we will also find out the concept of Marxist ideology and casteism as present in Mrityunjaya: The Death Conqueror by Shivaji Sawant.
