"What we learn from Dr. Karon’s study more completely than ever before, is how the internal lives of those on the “wrong” side of the caste line are structured: their readinesses and resistances; where they will play touch and go with their environments and where they will relate themselves meaningfully; what they dare and what they fear. The villain of the piece, for Dr. Karon, is the caste system—not age, nor education, nor industrialization, nor rural-urban residence, nor population density, nor any single factor which by itself might help to explain differences in social behavior. Dr. Karon shows the limited relevance of such typical variables." (from Commentary Magazine June 1960) ; Signed by Author. Very Good- .
