Summary:The paper seeks to explore the question of loyalty as it surfaces in a somewhat unusual form: enforced loyalty to a group by looking at the particular phenomenon of the enforcement of loyalty to a caste by caste panchayats through interestingly different periods and contexts in India. It tries to diagnose why this phenomenon can sometimes go missing due to methodological prejudices, while also expounding how in our own times the loyalties that are imposed are predominantly driven by one or another form of politics that reflects what caste has become in India over the last century.
