Abstract
The economy of respect involves symbolic interaction
signifying deference or esteem. The paper examines the
patterning of these symbolic exchanges in a north Indian
village. It describes the criteria by which villagers
qualify for respect and the conventional means by which they
show respect to others. Although discussion focuses
primarily on the interaction of men, attention is also given
to the role of women in the local economy of respect. The
paper demonstrates that respect represents an important
modality of social relationships and constitutes a mirror of
social values as well.
