The Caste System in Tamil Nadu  (Paperback, K. K. Pillay)

Caste is an emotionally loaded theme. Therefore, in handling the subject, care has to be taken to avoid wounding the sentiments of people of the different castes. That does not mean, however, that the plain truth as one sees it should be suppressed or camouflaged. Courage of conviction is an imperative necessity. This book is an extract from the original edition Studies in the History of India with Special Reference to TamilNadu written and published by K.K.Pillay in 1979.
