As I have elaborated before, the Asiatic Mode of Production (AMP) in India is based on the caste system. The caste system in turn is based on the confinement of a particular people to a particular occupation. This requires the intense control of women’s sexuality because if castes are allowed to intermarry, it will destroy the entire caste division of labour of that society. Thus, the fundamental basis for the maintenance of the caste system is through ensuring endogamy, that is, marrying within your own caste/biraderi.

By Daan Bauwens ANKARA – A political initiative to eliminate discrimination against the Alevi, Turkey’s main religious minority, risks being stymied by the Diyanet, the country’s powerful religious body that does not recognize anything but Sunni Islam. Between June 2009 and January 2010, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) organized seven different workshops to discuss a roadmap towards equal citizenship for the Alevis.
