Abstract |
This chapter examines two levels of caste discrimination. The first involves the differentiation of castes based on distinct vocations, dress, assigned moral virtues and vices, and other aesthetic and ethical characteristics. The second involves oppression, where some caste communities seek social and economic dominance over other caste communities. |
