Reading Caste with Secularization Thesis:

This paper broadly examines how Anticaste thought and Anticolonial thought remained separate domains of political thought in the context of India and, more broadly, South Asia. These two sets of thoughts did not converge over the long history of British Colonialism in India, primarily because they were unable to develop radical/collective thinking in the domain of secularization. 
In scholarship on postcolonial South Asia, the discussion of secularization often focuses on interreligious thinking. The politics of knowledge and historical domination allow the expert on religion to have expertise on the case. Still, the expert on caste is not considered an expert on religion. It is a situation of both caste and castelessness in determining the fluidity of movement between them. It is not the castelessness but caste that seems to be paving the path from society to politics, particularly during the anticolonial struggle in India.
