Exploring the concept of caste, this work is divided into two parts. The first part presents a lecture delivered at the National Indian Association in 1879, addressing the implications of caste in Indian society. The second part, a contribution to Mission Life in 1881, examines the role of caste within the Christian Church and its impact on missionary efforts. Together, these sections provide a critical analysis of social stratification and its intersection with religion during a transformative period in India.
