What did M.N. Srinivas means by Sanskritisation and de-snaskritisation?
Sanskritisation refers to a process whereby members of a (usually middle or lower) Caste attempt to raise their own social status by adopting the ritual, domestic and social practices of a caste (or Castes) of a higher status.
De-sanskritisation: The regions where non-Sanskritic caste was dominant, it was their influence that was stronger. This can be termed as the process of De-Sanskritisation.
