520 |a This paper attempts to providean insight into the strengths and weaknesses of initiatives at democratization within Hindu society in SouthAfrica. From ancient times, Hindu society has been seen to operate along lines of socialdivisions based on ethnic differences. Modern newspaper reports often indicate the extent of the social problemsarising out of traditional perceptions of supposedly inborn differences. Taking note of the Human Rights guarantees entrenched in the Indian Constitution, and of the reform ideas propounded by political and religious leaders like Svami Dayananda, SvamiVivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Tagore, Nehru, Radhakrishnan and others, the present study adopts a strong positive approach to the existence of rigid caste structures in Hindu society.
