Who has written the book Race, Science and Politics ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2026 Paper 1 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026)
The correct answer is

Ruth Benedict

Race: Science and Politics (1940) was written by the American anthropologist Ruth Benedict, a student of Franz Boas and author of Patterns of Culture (1934) and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword (1946).

Written against the background of Nazi racial ideology, the book separates the scientific study of race (biological variation) from racism (the dogma that one group is congenitally superior), showing that culture, language and achievement are not determined by race.

G. S. Ghurye wrote Caste and Race in India (1932); B. S. Guha prepared the racial classification of the Indian population for the 1931 Census; J. H. Hutton wrote Caste in India (1946). None wrote Race, Science and Politics.

So the book was written by Ruth Benedict.

Hence, the answer is Ruth Benedict.
