| Riassunto: | t 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.

Then the traditional caste system is analyzed, the evidence for its decline discussed, and the characteristics of the emerging new caste system examined. |
