There are significant continuities in the link between caste and occupation. Agriculture although now open to all castes still gives a distinct identity to a large number of castes of traditional cultivators. Equally, some other occupations remain the exclusive privilege of particular castes. A Brahman, for instance, still performs the functions of purohit (priest), for upper and middle level castes. Among the artisan castes of goldsmiths, potters, and weavers, at least a few members of the group are imparted the necessary skills, and make a living by the traditional craft. Finally, most ritually polluting occupations -the curing and tanning of hides, removal of dead animals, scavenging, and the activities of the barber, the washerman, and the mid wife -retain their associations with specific castes. In these caste -linked occupations, the work of women, carried out as members of households -the basic units of production and servicing is indispensable. It is difficult for weavers and potters to carry on their craft without the continuous help of women of the household. Women can also take on aspects of men's work it is not unusual for the women in a Potter's family to go to market to assist with selling goods. In horticulture, women often carry the major burden of work. In rural areas it is common for women of households of petty traders to grind spices and prepare fries, fritters for sale in family shop. Despite regional variations, these illustrations underscore the fact that occupational continuity depends upon a large measure on women.
