Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: The Hindu Jajmani System by William Henricks Wiser examines the traditional socio-economic structure of Indian villages, where different castes provided specialized services in exchange for goods and support from landowning families. This system ensured interdependence among villagers through hereditary occupations. Wiser’s study highlights its role in sustaining village economies, social hierarchy, and cultural continuity. His work remains a foundational text in Indian anthropology, offering insights into caste-based service exchange and rural social organization. About The Author: William Henricks Wiser (1890–1961) was an American anthropologist and Presbyterian missionary in North India. He studied rural society, focusing on village life, social structures, and economic systems. His pioneering works, Behind Mud Walls and The Hindu Jajmani System, remain key texts in Indian anthropology.
