Definition
Caste system leads to the exclusion and discrimination of the ‘outcaste’ groups, and that is why leaders (Jotiba Phule, Gandhi, Periyar, Ambedkar, etc.) wanted a state with no inequalities
Efforts to eradicate caste inequalities
Due to extreme urbanisation, industrialisation, occupational mobility, growth of economy, improvement in literacy, things have quite changed. The constitution also prescribes to ban untouchability and other discriminatory practices.
Aftermath
Even though there has been an effort, things are not over yet, untouchability is still practised. More over, the castes who have had access to education in the old system have advanced quite far as compared to the castes who did not have such access. That is why there is a large presence of ‘upper middle’ class in the society. Caste still continues to be linked with economic status.
