Question

how did the caste system promote inequality in india

Answer 1

Dear student,

Caste system was very rigid. It segregated people in to segments.Peoople were branded due to their castes. Access to resources, employment, education, privileges etc were based on birth. These differential treatment resulted in classes to achieve different levels of economic and social status.

` Eg: Lower caste or Dalits were not allowed to enter Temples/
Eg: Upper class had more access to schools, colleges
Eg: Lower caste were made to do menial jobs.

thus, Caste system bred inequality.
