Although, caste system is in Kashmir is not so rigid and complex but we can’t deny the fact the kashmiri society is not caste free society (Irshad, Ahrah and Zubar, 2013). The present study attempts to study the personality traits of college students of Kashmir division belonging to two dominant upper caste (Syeds and Khan) and five under- privileged lower caste (Hajam, Kumar, Gurjar,Lohar and Teeli,) will be taken into consideration. For this study a sample of 800 was drawn by using cluster sampling technique. Key words: Crept, dominant, under-privileged,cluster
