Dom Martin wrote: THE BAMON LADDER -- Postscript Whether the bamon ladder no longer exists or is clandestinely perched elsewhere -- it was instrumental in ascertaining who got privileged to ascend first and hug god, realize success, advance wealth or power. From that perspective, it becomes a valid subject for research. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Dom Martin, The strength of any research lies in the unbiased observations of the researcher. A researcher with a bias (conscious or sub-conscious) will usually produce results that reflect.his/her beliefs. I see this in business reports that I have to read on a daily basis. While I agree with you that caste would have played an important part in determining wealth or power in the past, anyone researching the same has to be caste unbiased to report on the topic. Else, like some of my business reports, they do not become worth reading. Mervyn1202
