Question

Which of the following did not contribute in breaking down the caste barriers?

• A. Urbanisation
• B. Education
• C. Occupational mobility
• D. Land reforms

Answer 1

The correct option is D Land reforms

The caste barriers are breaking down in India due to the following reasons:

1) With the growth of education has helped to decrease the belief in the caste system.

2) With large-scale urbanisation and economic development has reduced the emphasis on caste.

3) Occupational mobility also contributes to breaking down of the caste system.

The land reforms did not contribute to reducing the casteism as it brought changes in land schemes and not in the caste system.
