Hi Sunith
Thank your for two of your observations that, firstly, good wives are not
generic to any particular caste or class. Secondly, that "these [are]
completely self constructed barriers by those who wish to keep the caste
divide alive (on both sides)."
The second point above interests me somewhat: Am I to assume that you stand
for those who do not wish to keep the caste divide alive, and further, do
"both sides" really try to keep the divide alive? This would be contraray to
most theoretical and practical work on opposition and resistance to hegemony
in relation to social and cultural power in given societies. However, you
may well have something new for me to explore and I wait in anticipation!
Regards
Cornel
PS I am glad I have been spared the dubious pleasure of attending a Fundacao
Party.

Good wifes are also not generic to any particular caste nor class.
These completely are self constructed barriers by those who wish to keep
