It is correct to state that caste system has not disappeared completely as enumerated below:
(i) Lower caste people are still not at par with upper caste people in the sphere of education and prosperity. The lower castes still lag behind in the field of education’ That is why there is disproportionately large presence of ‘upper caste’ among the urban middle classes in our country.
(ii) caste still continues to be closely linked to economic status’ The average economic status of caste groups still follows the old hierarchy. i.e., the upper castes are best off, the Dalits and the Adivasi are worst off, with the backward classes once again in between’
(iii) In election too the caste plays a major role. The candidates are selected on the basis of caste in a constituency to attract voters of his caste.
