论文摘要
种姓特权一直以印度上种姓“网络”的形式持续，由政治，社会和经济关系组成，这些政治，社会和经济关系倾向于积极排斥下种姓的成员。在这项研究中，我们研究了印度最高立法机构Lok Sabha的政客Twitter网络中种姓的这种有害表达。我们发现，种姓与LOB Sabha Twitter网络中国会议员的中心性，连通性和参与有着显着的关系。议会议员（MP）的种姓越高，他们在网络中很重要，与其他国会议员建立相互联系，并被上层种姓国会议员转发。
Caste privilege persists in the form of upper caste "networks" in India made up of political, social, and economic relations that tend to actively exclude lower caste members. In this study, we examine this pernicious expression of caste in the Twitter networks of politicians from India's highest legislative body - the Lok Sabha. We find that caste has a significant relationship with the centrality, connectivity and engagement of an MP in the Lok Sabha Twitter network. The higher the caste of a Member of the Parliament (MP) the more likely they are to be important in the network, to have reciprocal connections with other MPs, and to get retweeted by an upper caste MPs.
