Casteism in Indian politics creates divisions as parties give tickets and positions based on caste instead of merit. It encourages vote-bank politics, like caste-based rallies or alliances. Such practices deepen social inequality, reduce fair representation, and weaken true democratic decision-making.

Caste-Based Politics: Parties often distribute tickets and seek votes on caste lines.
Social Division: Caste favoritism causes divisions and weakens democracy.
Example: Many elections see caste-based voting patterns, especially in states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
Result: Focus shifts from development to caste interests, reducing efficiency and promoting inequality.
