sorry john, I have hurt my back so I won't be in all week just lying around and using up all my high speed broadband. I do appreciate the multiple remembering of your dvd though...I will look forward to watching it.

As far as i know the homework is Zelliot: the first paper on caste. It's kind of a survey like the other papers have been. In short: it's complicated. The actually use of the term 'caste' is a bit all over the place.

The questions are:
What is the difference between Varna, Caste, Jati?

There are a range of theories about the origins of castes from racial to patriarchal, explain.

Give an account of 3 reformers of caste since 13thCE.

What antidiscrimination policies have been implemented before/after independence?
