Caste and caste system in India have undergone great changes.” Explain.
Caste and caste system in modern India have undergone great changes. With, economic development, large scale urbanization, growth of literacy and education, occupational mobility and the weakening of the position of landlords in the villages the old notion of caste hierarchy are breaking down. Now, most of times in urban areas it does not matter much who is walking along next along next to us on a street or eating at the next table in a restaurant. The Constitution of India prohibited any caste-based discrimination and laid the foundations of policies to reverse the injustices of the caste system. If a person who lived century ago were to return to India, he/she would be greatly surprised at the change that has come about the country.
