	Social Castes
		Jati comes from the root jan meaning "to beget" or "to produce" and is used to denote origin and the group or class which something belongs to.
		In terms of caste, jati is the social stratum in which one is born.
		The actual rank of a jati is not so much due to social and occupational practices of the members but is more because of the purity of the souls of the members resulting from their previous lives.

	Varna and Jatis: The Need for Clarity
		Jati is not caste, but became so under colonial rule (Dirks did a lot of good research on this).
		Jati means real working community of birth, marriages, of profession, culture and religion (closer to the widely (mis)understood meaning of caste; varna, however, means the social rank, status, order (closer to class).
		Ignoring the conceptual distinction between “jati” and “varna” (which is sometimes deliberate and ideologically motivated) doesn’t help either a deeper understanding of the origins of the system or serious efforts to combat the distortions that have crept in.

	Caste in Indian Society
		Ofcourse, all it took to start a jati was a group of likeminded (five to seven) families.
		The jatis involved in trade and commerce subsequently became the next most powerful (the royal family ofcourse was the most powerful).
		Such jatis (from 200 to about 100,000 people) were formed all the time, as the population of India increased and as familial networks became farther and farther flung.

	Welcome - Christians Of Kerala
		Vellappally Natesan, leader of SNDP [Ezhava jati], that the movements in the name of reservation is not beneficial to the common interest of the Hindus of Kerala, turned out to be an insolent distress to the Muslims and a section of Christians.
		Vellappally Natesan, the General Secretary of SNDP and the main pillar of the ‘reservation front’, of quitting the ‘front’ for the common good of the Hindus was a discourteous shock to the political lords as well as the minority religious leaderships.
		The unorganized and vertically compartmentalized Hindu jatis failed to use their organized strength in the field of professional educational scenario that caused unequal economic relations in the state, hence the disaster.

	A race destined to be refugees in its native land (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The chief constituent jatis of the Hindu social fabric of Kerala mainly constitute approximately 11 per cent of SC/ST castes, 20 per cent of Nairs and 24 per cent of Ezhavas.
		Before analysing the marginalisation of Hindus from the various spheres of political economy of the land, we must consider all the relative questions regarding the decline in the Hindu population.
		Those who come under the purview of SC/ST category are destined to be at the bottom of the jati hierarchy due to historical reasons and who now-adays are slowly but surely being eliminated from the political, cultural and socio- economic scenario of life in Kerala.

		The Indian words that caste supposedly translates are jati, which means a large kin-community or descent-group, and varna, which implies a classification based on function.
		During the periods of economic growth, the jatis have been relatively open-ended; during periods of hardships the jatis have tended to draw in for the sake of survival.
		Although jatis may pay lip service to the Brahmin as an intermediary to the gods when it comes to ritual, each caste considers itself to be the highest.

	Varna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The jatis lay down who shall marry whom, what should be the hereditary occupation for its members, what festivals should be celebrated, what gods in particular should be propriated, how property should be divided, how its members should behave with members of other jatis, impose fines for transgressions of moral and caste codes.
		Jati is the fact, the politic-economic-cultural unit whose rank in the social hierarchy is ambiguous and flexible.
		Thus Jati or actual caste system is based on material relationships and dynamics of power --- it is not a coincidence that upper castes are also economically and politically at the upper level while the lower castes are poor and the most poor people who had to do the worst jobs are the untouchable castes.

		This is the reason why - to revert to the example of the fuel sticks - the community was divided into jatis [similar to the smaller bundles in the analogy of the fire sticks] and each jati assigned a particular vocation.
		Apart from pride, there was a sense of fulfilment among members of each jati in pursuing the vocation inherited from their forefathers and in observing the rites proper to it.
		But in jati rule the discipline was internal since there was a sense of kinship among the members of each jati.

		But the Jati division was held together by the Varna division which with its antagonistic interests of sharing the surplus product was a class division in a real sense.
		The subjugation of the Vaishyas-Shudras pushed them into a position where they had to render a surplus, this was the Varna aspect of the division, and once having been pushed into this position they rendered the surplus in the form of the product which their particular tribe had been specializing in.
		To hold together the caste (Jati) system with its occupational stratification, the feature of heredity came in very handy as the right to practice a particular occupation was tethered to birth in a particular caste Jati).

	Is Cutting off the Head a Cure for Headache? from the Chapter "The Vedic Religion And Varna Dharma", in Hindu ...
		Maintaining the system of jatis on a nominal basis is not justified if each of the jatis does not have a special social responsibility to discharge.
		It is particularly important that this country has a section of people whose lifetime work is to keep chanting the Vedas, the Vedas which bring happiness to all living creatures through the loftiness of their sound and the profundity of the truths contained in them.
		Even if the social order of jatis were abolished and together with it the quarrels among the various communities came to an end, society would have to face another problem, that is class conflict.

		Caste is a term used to describe the hierarchically ranked endogamous kinship groups, known as jatis, that are the basis for social structure in South Asia.
		Jatis often have a regional base and center around the performance of traditional occupations (such as leatherworkers, priests, merchants, or tailors) in an interdependent relationship with other jatis.
		The caste system also sanctions social and economic inequality by associating certain jatis with physical and spiritual impurity.
