The Matrix of Class and Caste in India
Modern India still cripples with the age old Caste System. Caste system is hereditary and has its roots in the four verna system of medieval India. In past, caste system primarily decided the types of occupation or the occupational class. This paper investigates whether the caste is still playing a role in deciding the kind of occupation one gets. In the process, it develops a caste-class intermix index and examine its trend over the last 10 years (1996-2006).

Half baked ideas... for your comments
Use idea code (such as HB1, HB2 etc) for comments
HB1: Does slum population follows Kuznet curve?
Kuznet curve is popularly used to plot pollution versus development. The shape of the curve is inverse U indicating, initial increases in pollution with development and then it saturates and then decreases with further development. This indicates society prioritizes pollution control at a later stage.
Whether slums or informal settlements can be considered as pollution in housing sector? If that is the case, it is expected to follow Kuznet curve. Can we verify this by taking historical data of proportion of Slum housing in cities at different stages of development?
I invite your comments.
