Abstract |
The system of cast based society is perhaps the most troubled topic of Indian social fabric. Nowhere in the world can one find such a disgraceful division of life. This paper is a sincere effort to study and explore the present condition of the suppressed class people in the state of Assam. The kaibarttas are one of the most prominent subgroup of scheduled caste people living in the state, whose main occupation is fishing. They are also the largest community of SC population living here. So by studying the educational and occupational characteristic of the Kaibarttas, attempt is being made to understand the status of the zipped community who were deprived of all basic amenities of a civil society in earlier times. |
