Becoming Agarwal: The Manufacture of a Close-Knit Mercantile Caste
Ponniah, Ujithra (University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg)
Shows how a close-knit elite mercantile caste is reproduced as a privileged urban player in 'new' Hindu India. The process of reproduction is gendered and generationa and can be disrupted by the desires of a younger generation of women, yet it is robust enough to absorb discontent.
