| Summary/Abstract |
The original Indian varna order has degenerated into a rigid caste system with more faults than merits and must be reinvented to keep abreast of modern times. Satish Oberoi examines the causes of the distortions and suggests measures to rectify or even eliminate them. He however concludes that the elimination of the varna system could cause serious problems, leaving the country with limited options for dealing with its current sociopolitical problems and he proposes various reforms to improve governance.
