Evans, cited reference, The importance of community structure in agricultural development has been emphasized in several studies (Van den Ban 1960; Dasgupta 1968; Fliegel 1969). For a structural interpretation of village differences in agricultural development in India, consideration of caste structure is an obvious first step; for caste constitutes the basis of Indian village societies. This paper attempts to develop a theoretical scheme for relating caste structure to agricultural development by using the concept of caste dominance which was originally used by Srinivas (1968) to explain the process of Sanskritization. The specific objective of this paper is to present both a logical and an empirical basis for understanding this relationship by developing a typology for villages in terms of caste structure which would be variably related to levels of agricultural development.
