| dbo:abstract | Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development was a paper read by B. R. Ambedkar at an anthropological seminar of Alexander Goldenweiser in New York on 9 May 1916. It was later published in volume XLI of Indian Antiquary in May 1917. In the same year, Ambedkar was awarded a PhD degree by Columbia University on this topic. In 1979, the Education Department of the Government of Maharashtra (Bombay) published this article in the collection of Ambedkar's writings and speeches Volume 1; later, it was translated in many languages. In the paper, Ambedkar made a presentation a social phenomenon that emerged from the strategy of the Brahmins who adopted a strictly endogamous matrimonial regime, leading the other groups to do the same in order to emulate this self-proclaimed elite. He said that "the superposition of endogamy on exogamy means the creation of caste". (en) Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development (Nederlands: Kasten in India: hun mechanisme, ontstaan en ontwikkeling) is een paper over het Indische kastenstelsel dat de Indiase academicus en politicus Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar op 9 mei 1916 in New York presenteerde op het antropologisch seminar van Alexander Goldenweiser. De tekst werd een jaar later als artikel gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Indian Antiquary (jaargang 46) in mei 1917. Datzelfde jaar behaalde Ambedkar zijn PhD aan de Columbia-universiteit voor zijn onderzoek naar dit thema. In 1979 publiceerde het Ministerie van Onderwijs van de staat Maharashtra in Bombay het artikel in Deel 1 van de collectie van Ambedkars geschriften en toespraken. Het artikel is in veel talen vertaald. In het paper presenteerde Ambedkar het Indische kastenstelsel als een sociaal fenomeen dat voortkwam uit de strategie van de brahmanen, die strikte endogamie (alleen trouwen binnen de eigen groep) toepasten. Dit stimuleerde andere groepen in de samenleving om hetzelfde te doen, omdat ze deze zelfverklaarde elite wilden navolgen (sanskritisering). Ambedkar stelde: "Derhalve betekent de verheffing van endogamie boven exogamie het creëren van de kaste". (nl) |
