Following the publication of the book by E. R. Leach, ed., Aspects
of Caste in South India, Ceylon and North-West Pakistan (1960),
much additional information was gathered on caste hierarchies in
South Asia, and two major attempts were made to identify the
underlying unity of this material - a structuralist one by Louis
Dumont and a ethnosocialogical one by McKim Marriott et al. This
quest for unity seemed attractive, yet at the same time, as the
contributions to the present volume indicate, premature. The four
papers collected here and published in 1982 are all concerned with
caste ideology and caste interaction in different locales of South
Asia.
