dc.description.abstractPre-colonial Indian society was socially and culturally organized within diverse socio-culturally stratified kinship and clan groups (jāti), generally translated as the Indian caste system. The Indian caste system is a most ancient, complex and controversial topic in Indian religious history, anthropology, sociology and South Asia Area studies. As a constant historical (and contemporary) social reality, it remains a continuous challenge to western classification and understanding. The Indian caste system is not confined to Hindu groups only, but it is a social reality in Indian Sikh, Muslim and Christian communities, where the caste system has been absorbed within local caste hierarchies. Indian Hindu groups will be however the main concern of this chapter.
