Abstract
The village is structured based on a strict caste hierarchy, which is evident in its housing patterns. The lower caste residents live on the outskirts in poor conditions, while wealthier, upper-caste families occupy the central village. Land ownership rules prevent lower castes from purchasing land from upper castes, perpetuating economic inequality.
Media Consumption Television access is limited, with most sets located in community halls, but mobile phone use is growing. Many villagers, both men and women, own smartphones, which they use to listen to music or watch short videos and reels, reflecting the increasing digital penetration in rural areas.
