The distinctiveness is on account of the stratificatory system of caste that prevailed, in one form or the other, in these societies for centuries. Despite some basic differences in the political and religious organization of these societies, caste or caste-like institutional practices survive in them even today—in diluted or even transmuted form in some, while manifesting greater continuity in others—with their corresponding structures of social exclusion.}
