Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical text conducts a thorough examination of castes and tribes in India. Beginning with India's colonial past, when societal organization was documented during the 1901 Census, the author presents a framework for understanding the Indian population's social structuring by race, language, and religion. The book focuses on the implementation of the caste system and the factors that have contributed to its complexity, rigidity, and dynamism. The author explores the formation of endogamous groups and their impact on marriage, occupation, food habits, and social interaction. The text also discusses the role of priests in shaping the system and posits theories on its origins, taking into account both Aryan and pre-Aryan societal influences. Ultimately, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the historical development and contemporary dynamics of India's caste system, a unique and intricate aspect of its social fabric.
