Abstract

Caste system may have origins in experiences derived from, what is known in analytical psychology as, “the personal and collective unconscious.” India is said to be home of social stratification which is found in the form of caste, based on the birth of the individual in a particular caste/family. In spite of strict religious prohibition of caste system, yet social stratification and caste like features has crept in some Muslim societies and Kashmiri society is no exception. Although, caste system is in Kashmir is not so rigid and complex but we can’t deny the fact the kashmiri society is not caste free society (Irshad, Ahrah and Zubar, 2013). The present study attempts to study the personality traits of college students of Kashmir division belonging to two dominant upper caste (Syeds and Khan) and five under- privileged lower caste (Hajam, Kumar, Gurjar,Lohar and Teeli,) will be taken into consideration. For this study a sample of 800 was drawn by using cluster sampling technique. Key words: Crept, dominant, under-privileged,cluster
