Caste: Considered Under Its Moral, Social, and Religious Aspects is a book written by Arthur John Patterson in 1861. The book explores the concept of caste, which is a social system that divides people into different groups based on their birth, occupation, and status. The author examines caste from a moral, social, and religious perspective, discussing its impact on individuals and society as a whole. Patterson delves into the history of caste and its origins in India, where it is most prevalent, but also discusses its existence in other parts of the world. He examines the different castes and their hierarchical structure, and discusses the discrimination and inequality that often accompanies caste systems. The book also explores the religious aspects of caste, particularly in Hinduism, where caste is believed to be determined by karma and reincarnation. Patterson examines the impact of religion on caste, and the ways in which caste has been used to justify discrimination and oppression.Overall, Caste: Considered Under Its Moral, Social, and Religious Aspects is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of caste and its impact on society. It provides a historical and cultural context for understanding caste, and offers insights into the ways in which caste has been used to perpetuate inequality and discrimination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
