| Abstract: | The article reports the findings of a study related to the perception of social status, economic condition, and relative poverty among the socioeconomically mobile and immobile groups belonging to three different segments of the Hindu society - scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, and upper caste. Mobility was assessed using an intergenrational mobility scale. The results suggested that the respondents' perception of economic condition and physical quality of living were significantly affected by their membership in the caste groups. |
