  1. (Values are shown as percentages. All values differ significantly from a null distribution (p < 0.05) unless indicated by [a]. bThis value increases to 0.28 without the NTS Upper caste but remains non-significant. Tamil castes: Upper, NTS Upper, Middle, Lower; Andhra castes: Upper, Middle, Lower)
