  • Common Misconception

  • Correct Understanding
    • Lower castes imitate customs and rituals of higher castes
      • Goal - Claim higher rank in caste hierarchy
    • Applies to Hindus AND tribal groups like Bhils and Gonds
    • Only positional change in hierarchy - NO structural change
      • Caste inequality continues to exist
    • No guarantee of economic elevation
      • Economically advanced groups also use it for cultural status
