| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. J¿ti (the word
literally means thus born) is the term used to denote communities and
sub-communities in India. It is a term used across religions. In Indian
society each j¿ti typically has an association with a traditional job
function or tribe, although religious beliefs (e.g. Sri Vaishnavism or
Veera Shaivism) or linguistic groupings define some jatis. A person's
surname typically reflects a community (jati) association: thus Gandhi =
perfume seller, Dhobi = washerman, Srivastava = military scribe, etc. In
any given location in India 500 or more jatis may co-exist, although the
exact composition will differ from district to district. |
