He is well-known for his early work on India, which culminated in \u003ci\u003eHomo Hierarchicus\u003c\/i\u003e (1966; in English 1972, 1980), an anthropological account of the caste system. He later extended this work into a comparison of the values of Indian and western society in works like \u003ci\u003eEssays on Individualism\u003c\/i\u003e (1986) and \u003ci\u003eGerman ideology: From France to Germany and Back\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). He is also known for pioneering work on kinship in south India and more generally (for example \u003ci\u003eAffinity as a Value\u003c\/i\u003e, 1983).
