Further, group heterogeneity also supports a startified order. Constant contact with others like Bhils and Hindus has let to several changes in the social order of this tribe. Today Garasias are divided into Rajput Garasia, Garasia and Bhil Garasia. Rajput Garasia are the outcome of cultural blending of Rajputs and Garasias with the adoption of Rajput clan names.

Famous quotes related to social order:
“The protection of a ten-year-old girl from her father’s advances is a necessary condition of social order, but the protection of the father from temptation is a necessary condition of his continued social adjustment. The protections that are built up in the child against desire for the parent become the essential counterpart to the attitudes in the parent that protect the child.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
