The agricultural economy was organised in Jajmani system which was a blend of economic and social aspects of rural life. Caste here operated not to weld the artisan permanently into the community but essentially to enable "special skill to be accumulated from generation to gene ration. Under this system each caste group in the village was expected to extend certain standardized services to the families of other castes. A Khati was to repair the agriculture implements made of wood and Lohar those of iron implements. A Nai has to dress hairs and perform many social functions; a Chamaar to help in fanning and shoe making and the Chura for cleaning work and assisting agriculture operations. Each man worked for a particular family or group of families and right to serve them was resumed.enRural SociologyThesis
