Reservation Judical Systems 1971

Chapman Law Review, 2019

It is now well-known and widely accepted that the caste system constitutes the longest, most resilient and systematic example of social engineering ever devised by humans. The system has ensured that a small minority of Indians cornered the benefits of the hard work of the masses. The Brahmins and their collaborators, through the sanskritisation process, have a monopoly on the fat of the land. This situation may have continued largely unchanged but for the arrival of several Europeans who came to trade and stayed to conquer. In short, the monopoly enjoyed by the elites of India began to be challenged by the colonialists.

The article presents an ethnography of caste system in Kerala from a comparative perspective. It begins with a personal narrative on the manifestation of caste in the fifties and sixties. Viewing caste as a system of stratification, the article then describes the manner in which it functioned in the ancient past and how flexibility existed within the system. It then goes on to explain the changing profiles of caste in the modern times and discusses how it is being played out in the present day socio-political life in Kerala. The last section of the article makes an attempt to look at the caste system in comparison with the racial relations in America. It is submitted that both in India and the U.S., questions of caste and race are intertwined with questions of economic justice and equal opportunity in the broadest sense.
