Description
Louis Dumont?s modern classic, here presented in an enlarged, revised, and corrected second edition, simultaneously supplies that reader with the most cogent statement in the Indian caste system and its organizing principles and a provocative advance in the comparison of societies on the basis of their underlying ideologies. About the Author Louis Dumont Before his death in 1999, Louis Dumont was Directeur d’Etudes at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
