Equally we need to consider the determinate ways in which women are objectified and became instrument in – even as they introduce flexibility to – the structure and processes implicated in the reproduction of caste. The discussion focuses on three interrelated, indeed overlapping, themes – occupational continuity and reproduction of caste, food and rituals, and finally marriage and sexuality. The three basic characteristics of caste, typified as jati, a birth-status group, are exclusion of separation (rules governing marriage and contact, which maintain distinctions of caste), hierarchy (the principal of order and rank according to status), and interdependence (the division of labour which is closely tied to hierarchy and separation).The paper is divided into three major parts- Occupational Continuity, Food and rituals, Marriage and Sexuality.
