Caste -- India -- History; Hindus -- India; Tribes -- India -- History
[Summary.] 13. To finally sum up, I have, for purposes of easy
comparison, taken one hundred subjects from each of the main divisions
promiscuously, and irrespectively of caste, and at the end of this
paragraph will be found the averages of each measurement separately
under each division, in order to be able to compare finally the highest
with the lowest caste, the noblest born Aryan with the humblest born
Drâvir, and I think on looking at the table one cannot but be struck
with the result and notice the very slight material difference that
exists, a fact which tends to prove beyond doubt that the racial origin
of all must have been similar, and that the foundation upon which the
whole caste system in India is based, is that of function and not upon
any real or appreciable difference of blood.”
AVERAGES OF 100 SUBJECTS TAKEN PROMISCUOUSLY FROM CASTES UNDER THE MAIN DIVISIONS.
