it is a system that works with jajman (patron) and the kamin (service provider)

and held together my a network of relations. It served as a medium of exchange between two individuals, service and return being the modes.

The jajmani system was a very important rural social institution in traditional

India. It grew up during the ancient phase of Indian history when occupational

differentiation and specialisation of various arts, crafts and menial services

developed and owners and non-owners of land emerged in villages. It

maintained its vitality in the medieval period. But it started declining during

the colonial period and now it is very weak in villages.

How people exchange goods in Jajmani system?

The notion of the jajmani system was popularized by colonial ethnography. It tended to conceptualize agrarian social structure in the framework of exchange relations. In its classical construct, different caste groups specialized in specific occupations and exchanged their services through an elaborate system of division of labor. Though asymmetry in position of various caste groups was recognized what it emphasized was not inequality in rights over land but the spirit of community. Wiser argued, each served the other. Each in turn was master. Each in turn was servant. This system of inter relatedness in service within Hindu community was called the Jajmani system. Central to such a construction of exchange is the idea of reciprocity (Gouldner) with the assumption that it was a non-exploitative system where mutual gratification was supposed to be the outcome of the reciprocal exchange.
