Abstract

This article analyses caste and land ownership in two villages of North Bihar, Katkuian in West Champaran district and Nayanagar in Samastipur district. In both villages, the distribution of land is marked by inequality, and by landlessness among a large section of the population. However, differences in caste structure between the two villages make for distinct differences in socio-economic relations in general in the two villages.
