Gnanavel, T., and L. Selvamuthu Kumarasami. "Caste System And Caste Practices In Tamil Country." Indian Streams Research Journal 2.8 (2012): 1-6. Academic Search Complete. Web. 7 May 2013.
In this source Gnanavel and Kumarasami starts off by describing the caste system and from where it originated from. They go on to describe how the caste was constantly changing based on social movements. The source describes how the caste system was used to separate fellow Indians and decide what sort of jobs or obligations they had.These caste systems are based on religious and political aspects in order to a civilization deprived of certain rights. The reading decribes how in order to maintain this caste system the government prohibited social movements and promoted Orthodoxy.This source is great to use since they describe one of the high caste system known as the Brahmins. I will be using this source in order to be more specific with Brahamins and how they have certain rights such as tax free land and villages.
