R.C. Dixit & V. Gupta
The main purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the inter-caste attitudes of the college going boys and girls of Jodhpur City. Straitified sample of 100 subjects belonging to four major caste groups was drawn from the student population. The inter-caste attitudes questionnaire originally used by Murphy (1950) was administered to the subjects. The results showed significant difference between the two extreme caste groups i,e, Brahmin and Sudras. There was no significant difference in between the other castes, although the mean scores of the various caste groups have shown the caste hierachical order. The findings were interpreted to mean the changes in the inter-caste attitudes as a result of industrialization and education.
