Excellent monographs based on the Pāli sources by Fick, Rhys Davids, R. Mehta and A. N. Bose suffer from the same defect. J. C. Jain’s *Life as Depicted in the Jain Canons* lumps together all material without any regard to time and place. In spite of chronological treatment in some cases works on the Indian caste system hardly take into account non-brāhmaṇical sources.
