My topic is the effect of the abolishment
of the Hindu caste system of the social status of the Brahmans (the highest
class) and the Dalits (the lowest class). The caste system was officially
abolished because people felt that the Dalits weren’t being treated fairly and didn’t
have the same opportunities. The abolishment was supposed to have made things equal
between castes and has been somewhat of a success. Dalits have begun to have
similar lives to those of the other castes. At the same time it has also decreased
the amount of religious authority and power the Brahmans have over the other
castes But its long past has made it a permanent part of Hindus’ culture.
For
my research I still need to find some more useful sources for my annotated bibliography.
I also need to eliminate the non-useful ones that don’t provide much detail,
just the basic information. Before I can do anything else I need to finish my
annotated bibliography. I’m going to analyze my sources for the note cards and
start putting them into the categories I’ve come up with. Over the weekend, I’m
going to have to work on compiling information into notecards a good bit.
