Woman as Tribute, Woman as Flower: Images of "woman" in weddings in north and south India
North Indian Rajput and south Indian Nattati Nadar weddings are compared to find the summary images of the bride in the two subcultures of the more general South Asian marriage system. "Woman as tribute" in contrast to "woman as flower" is revealed by such differences as the roles for relatives in the rituals, the severance and nonseverance of the bride from her kindred, and the cooling versus heating effects of preparatory baths. [women, India, …

The Anatomy of Envy: A Study in Symbolic Behavior [and Comments and Reply]
Envy is a pan-human phenomenon, universally feared, at least subconsciously, as a particularly dangerous emotion, since it implies hostility and aggression capable of destroying individuals and even societies. Especially in Western society, man has rather successfully repressed his true feelings about envy, which he is taught is the most shameful and reprehensible of all emotions. But even while denying it, man in all cultures has found devices, …
Caste in Contemporary India: Beyond Organic Solidarity
Religious Anxiety and Hindu Fate
How do ordinary people of India adapt themselves to the Hindu theory of karma and rebirth? It is said that these concepts justify and reconcile Hindus to the inequalities of the caste system and that they result in fatalism and "other-worldiness." These, in turn, are said to obstruct interest in modernization and progress. Although hypotheses such as these have been formulated by students of Hindu texts (Singer, 1961; Weber, 1958; Schweitzer, 193…
Toward a Model of the Hindu Jajmani System
Over the past dozen years, Indian, British and American social anthropologists have studied more than a score of Hindu villages in India. Their reports have been descriptions of caste, leadership, government, factionalism, economic and social change. There have been a few studies also of village religion, family life, kinship, and personality

Such an inventory, I thought, might be helpful to those who find the book difficult to read. Unexpectedly, in the course of the exercise, I began to uncover Dumont's argument and to find what I take to be solutions to two of the problems I had continued to have with this monumental work, even though it had been amply…
