Dear Colleagues,I forward below a query on behalf my Colleague Zoé Headley.(on her current project "Studies in Tamil Studio Archives and Society (S.T.A.R.S.)"
see e.g:

and
http://www.lemonde.fr/sciences/video/2018/01/19/une- )autre-histoire-de-l-inde- ecrite-par-ses-photos_5244050_ 1650684.html Any help will be much appreciated.
Her query is:
"I am searching for references in Indian literature and classical texts of instances of "caste impersonation", i.e. when an individual or a group "passes" as a caste which is not their original birth group. My search includes such instances in contemporary literature"With very best wishes.--Emmanuel Francis
