TITLE: SOCIAL STRATIFICATION AMONG KASHMIRI MUSLIM’S

ABSTRACT: This study is an attempt to study the broad patterns of social stratification prevailing in district Pulwama. As a complex social phenomenon, social stratification which refers to the division of the society into various hierarchical strata is as old as human civilization, while many have talked about a „classless‟ societies of either the past or the future, but these ideas found very little support in historical experience. Though the phenomenon is common to all societies but its nature and forms vary from society to society, and from culture to culture.

KEYWORDS: Social Stratification, Inequality, Kashmir, caste, Class, Power, Indian Society, Islam.
