Review of caste in India
- Jaipur Rawat Publications 1977
- 110p.
The book deals with the advantages and disadvantages of the caste system, thought the latter far outweigh the former. The advantages-such as division of labour, measures of protection, cleanliness, respect for authority and moral restraint-pale into insignificance when contrasted with the atrocious features of the system. The disadvantages listed are: physical degeneracy, national poverty, hinderance to intellectual liberty, hinderance to the growth of nationality, discord between classes, human suffering, exploitation and cruelty, the pride and arrogance of the Brahmins, moral degradation and blasphemous falsehood, and so on.
