The concept of ‘dominant caste’ was propounded by M.N. Srinivas. It was for the first time appeared in his essay on the social system of a Mysore village. While constructing the concept, perhaps Srinivas was unconsciously influenced by African studies on the dominant clan and dominant lineage. Srinivas developed the concept in his study of Rampura village which is a little away from Mysore city in Karnataka state. Srinivas, in fact, wanted to give a comprehensive study of Rampura.

According to M N Srinivas; Economic and Political power is one criterion to identify the dominant caste.
The castes which own large portion of the land in the village wield greater power as they have increased agricultural income giving them a superior economic status.
They can provide jobs to the landless farmers and employ servants.
They also gain prestige and power because of their role and participation in Panchayati Raj thus enhancing their power status further.
