Caste and Race in India c6.9

c6.9

Religious movements have not failed to give their names to groups, which are now castes. The Bishnois and Sadhs, the Jogis, the Gosains, and the Manbhaos are some of the examples of sectarian castes. The first four of these began as orders emphasizing certain aspects of Hindu tenets, while the last group was the result of a reformist movement in the Maratha region.
