Using data covering 18 states in India and encompassing 8,652 households in 242 villages in 18 Indian states, this paper answers three broad questions: What is probability that conflict within a village will be perceived as caste-based (as opposed to non-caste-based) and has this probability changed over time? Further, does the perception of a conflict being caste-based differ between caste groups? Does the effect of conflict on life and property depend upon whether it caste-based or non-caste-based? Further, does this effect on life and property differ between caste groups Are some conflict-resolving agencies more effective at dealing with caste-based conflicts and others more effective with non-caste-based conflicts? Our conclusion is that, compared to non-caste-based conflicts, caste-based conflicts entail greater loss of life and property and, furthermore, they require the services of different agencies for their resolution.

冲突、种姓和解决：对印度村庄的定量分析

本文使用覆盖印度 18 个邦和印度 18 个邦 242 个村庄的 8,652 户家庭的数据，回答了三个广泛的问题：一个村庄内的冲突被视为基于种姓（而不是基于种姓）的概率是多少？ ) 并且这个概率是否随着时间的推移而改变？此外，种姓群体之间对基于种姓的冲突的看法是否不同？冲突对生命和财产的影响是否取决于它是基于种姓还是非基于种姓？此外，这种对生命和财产的影响是否因种姓而异？一些冲突解决机构在处理基于种姓的冲突时更有效，而其他机构在处理非种姓冲突时更有效吗？我们的结论是，与非种姓冲突相比，种姓冲突会造成更大的生命和财产损失，并且，
