My study of the Caste problem involves four main points : ( 1 ) that in spite of the composite make-up of the Hindu population, there is a deep cultural unity; (2) that caste is a parcelling into bits of a larger cultural unit; (3) that there was one caste to start with and (4) that classes have become Castes through imitation and excommunication-peculiar interest attaches to the problem of Caste in India today; as persistent attempts are being made to do away with this unnatural institution.
