Caste, Culture and Socialism by Swami Vivekananda examines India's social structure, emphasizing the need to reform caste practices and embrace equality. Vivekananda critiques the rigidity of caste, advocating for a system based on individual merit rather than birth. He highlights India's rich cultural heritage, rooted in spirituality and unity, as a foundation for social progress. Addressing socialism, Vivekananda supports a harmonious balance between collective welfare and individual growth, urging the upliftment of marginalized communities through education and empowerment. The work reflects his vision of an inclusive society, fostering equality, justice, and mutual respect while preserving cultural and spiritual values.

Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902), born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk and philosopher who introduced Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. He became a disciple of Ramakrishna and embarked on a mission to uplift the Indian people, later gaining fame in the West after his impactful speech at the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, and his contributions to Indian philosophy and nationalism remain influential. Celebrated as a patriotic saint, his legacy endures, with his birthday honored as National Youth Day in India.
