Status and Sacredness: A General Theory of Status Relations and an Analysis of Indian Culture by Murray Milner

A difficult but rewarding book on indian caste. The author nicely combines methodological and theoretical considerations with practical examples from indian sociology. Particularly his thesis that rational choice theory is a useful tool only after structural analysis has clarified the social context seemed to be well put. For the non-specialist on indian society the discussion goes into a bit too much detail sometimes, but few books in sociology are educational on as many levels as this one show more so I do recommend it. show less
