HEY MATE YOUR ANSWER IS
The concept of dominant caste has been used for the first item in sociological literature by an eminent Indian Sociologist M.N. Srinivas in his essay social system of a Mysore Village, which was written after his study of village Rampur. The concept occupies a key position in the process of ‘Sanskritisation’ as propounded by the same sociologists in his book, Religion and society among the Coorgs at south India.
It is held by some sociologists like Domont and Peacock that Srinivas transplanted the notion of “dominance” form the African society to the Indian Society. It may be true to some extent. Srinivas himself writes that. I used the term dominant caste for the first time in my essay ‘Social System of a Mysore village’ and it is probable clean and dominant lineage in the contemporary anthropological literature on Africa. But in a sense Coorg book is also about a dominant caste and it was but a step from it a formulation of the idea of the dominant caste.

Explanation:
Rural India remains a caste-based society. This column explores why caste continues to play such an important role and what the effects are. It argues that trade and agricultural productivity suffer, as well as the functioning of democracy.
Anthropologists and sociologists have long emphasised the notion of a ‘dominant’ caste to understand village life in India. M N Srinivas first defined the term ‘dominant caste’ to refer to the caste in the village which is numerically strong and also wields the greatest economic and political power (Srinivas 1987). Louis Dumont later insisted that dominance arises solely from economic power rather than factors such as numerical strength, and that this power flows exclusively from control of land (Dumont 1970). This latter definition of caste dominance is the one now commonly used in the literature and is the one used here; the ‘dominant’ caste refers to the caste group owning the majority of land.This sociological and anthropological literature is somewhat dated now, but the notion of the dominant caste seems to still play an important role in understanding some key economic and political outcomes in rural India today. Research of mine has investigated some important implications of this dominant caste phenomenon (see Anderson 2011).
