Do you agree that caste has not disappeared from contemporary India.

Answer»

Yes, I agree that caste has not disappeared from contemporary India:
(i) Some of the older aspects of casts are continuing.
(ii) Even now, most people marry within their own caste or tribe.
(iii) Untouchability has not ended completely, despite constitutional prohibition.
(iv) The caste groups that had access to education under the old systems have done very well in acquiring modern education as well.
(v) Those groups that did not have access to education or were prohibited from acquiring it have naturally lagged behind. Caste continues to be closely linked to economic status.
