What is Impact of caste in politics? |
| Answer» However, we also need to keep in mind that the caste system always does not play a role in shaping politics or deciding the candidates from a constituency. This is due to the following reasons:\tNot every constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. Therefore, every party is required to win the trust of the people belonging to different castes.\tNo political party wins all the votes of a particular favoured caste or community. When people say that caste is a ‘vote bank’, they simply mean that many people from that one particular caste may vote for the party.\tBecause several political parties fight elections, there may be many candidates from the same caste fighting elections against each other.\tIt has been seen that many elected MPs or MLAs may lose the elections. If candidates are elected on caste lines, then no candidate can ever lose the elections. | |
