Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

M.N. Srinivas, a prominent Indian sociologist, did not view exogamy as a characteristic of the caste system. In the traditional caste system, endogamy (marrying within one's caste), common occupation, and notions of pollution (hierarchical ranking based on purity and impurity) are considered key features. Exogamy, or marrying outside one's caste, contradicts the principle of caste endogamy.
