State how caste inequalities are still continuing in India.
Share
Caste inequalities are still continuing in India in the following ways:
(l) Most people still marry within their own caste or tribe. The upper caste people or sometimes other caste people too do not allow inter-caste marriages.
(ii) Untouchability has been prohibited by the Constitution but in practice it still exists in different parts of the country, particularly in rural areas.
(iii) In the field of education too, lower caste people still lag behind. Government has provided them Various kinds of facilities but ‘upper castes’ are far ahead in education than the ‘lower castes’.
(iv) Lower caste people like rural landless labourers, are generally poor and are exploited. As a result of above, there is a disproportionately large presence of ‘Upper Caste’ among the urban middle classes. Caste continues to be closely linked to economic status.
