Question

State how caste inequalities are still continuing in India.

Open in App
Solution

Caste inequalities have not completely disappeared from India.

Even today, most people marry within their own caste or tribe.

Despite constitutional prohibition, untouchability has not ended completely. Education is not easily available to the so called 'low castes'.

Economic status is closely linked to the caste system. In modern India, like in pre-independence India, the poor are mostly the 'low castes' while the rich are the 'high castes', thereby showing that caste inequalities are still continuing in India.
