Popis: 本研究は,西インド,グジャラート州カッチ県ブジの染色業者コミュニティを事例にして,ムスリムのカースト的集団内部の社会関係を明らかにすることを目的とする。従来のインド・ムスリムの社会関係の研究は,カースト的集団問の関係に焦点がおかれ,集団を社会的に均質な存在として捕らえる傾向があった。本稿は,そのような先行研究の偏りを是正し,インド・ムスリムがカースト的集団内部のまとまりをもちつつ,生業に関わる社会関係,親族や姻族関係を中心とした社会関係を構築していることを明らかにする。
This study focuses on the social relations of Indian Muslims, the Khatri,who were a caste-like community in Kutch District, Gujarat State. I criticizeprevious studies on Indian Muslims, in which the inter-relations betweencastes have been mainly studied rather than the intra-relations of castes.The Khatri were recognized as dyers among local people, and they produceddyed fabrics both for local demand and for regional merchants outsideKutch in such places as Bombay.Although the Khatri had a well-established jamaat (caste-like Muslimcommunity in Gujarat) organization, this did not actually function as a tradeassociation. Rather the workshop owners depended on their own networks ofkinship and affinity for their dyeing work.
