What is impact of politics in caste???? |
| Answer» \tWhen a particular caste tries to gain prominence by adding many neighbouring castes and sub-castes which were earlier not included.\tThe caste system also becomes politicised when caste groups are required to enter into a coalition with other castes. In such a case, every caste tries to gain maximum benefits for itself.\tOf late, many caste groups have gained entry into politics by terming themselves as ‘backward’ or ‘forward’ caste groups.It is to be noticed that the existence of the caste system is itself not healthy for any democracy. It mostly produces negative results. In India, it has resulted in the vicious circle of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy for many castes. The caste system may also lead to caste division, caste violence and conflicts resulting in violence. | |
