  abstract = 	{This article explores the 'characteristics of the Brahman kinship system which differentiates it from that of the lower castes: first the Brahman occupations, means of subsistence, and position in the scale of ranked castes; and second, certain moral values deriving from the Sanskrit religious tradition, of which they are the main carriers' (p. 826). The article also provides an analysis of the status of women, marriage preference and regulation, kinship terminology, relationships within the family, and child-rearing. An appendix of Brahman and low-caste kinship terms is included.},
