Why is it important?
The study furnishes insights into the social hierarchies and the resilience of caste as it functions in Pakistan, the region that is under-researched.
Perspectives
I believe the paper makes a compulsory reading to understand the micro-to-macro process of politics and economy, and can be used to draw comparisons across South Asia and Africa to analyse class systems.
