Structure and Cognition Aspects of Hindu Caste and Ritual

Sociological analysis of Hindu caste and ritual has hitherto been confined to the empirical study of local communities. This work adds a new dimension to such analysis by basing its data on an examination of selected myths in Puranic and Sutra literature, in particular the Dharmaranya Purana and the Grihya Sutra, thus going to the sources of the ideology that have given local communities their particular shape and character.Das, Veena is the author of 'Structure and Cognition Aspects of Hindu Caste and Ritual', published 0011 under ISBN 9780195626513 and ISBN 0195626516.
