Product Description
It is often assumed that the caste system in South Asia has faded away. Yet it is indeed unlikely that a social structure organizing the political, economic, and ritual life of a people for over one thousand years could be totally expunged within a few decades. In this brief, cogent, and clear presentation, caste is first considered as a system of descent-groups. Then the traditional caste system is analyzed, the evidence for its decline discussed, and the characteristics of the emerging new caste system examined.
