This research paper by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is a clear and concise text on the origin of caste system and the means of preservation of this unnatural hierarchical structure in the society.
The paper outlines how classes became castes and how Sati, Enforced widowhood and Girl marriage are linked to the concept of caste and presents before us enough arguments as justifications.
To put forth rational arguments to explain the complex caste system and its mechanism, origin and development in just 18 pages is again a testimony to Ambedkar's clarity of thoughts and his voluminous understanding of the caste system.
A must-read !!!
