Castes in India was basically a paper read by B. R. Ambedkar at a seminar in New York in May 1916. In the same year, he was awarded a PhD degree by Columbia University on this topic. Later, it was translated in many languages. In this treatise, Ambedkar wrote that "the superposition of endogamy on exogamy means the creation of caste.?

Ambedkar treated class and caste as neighbours, saying that "a caste is an Enclosed Class"
