Abstract
This work examines a Muslim village of occupational specialists and its relationship to a neighboring Hindi village of landowners. While the relationship has the appearance of a hereditary client-patron system, the author is careful to avoid explaining it entirely in terms of caste or class, instead emphasizing the self-ascribed religious affiliations and identities of the two groups.
