Marginalised caste groups may have gained some pride and self-confidence but otherwise remain excluded and discriminated. Elaborate.

Answer»

With the growth of anti-Brahminical movement and the development of regional selfconsciousness in the 20th century there was an attempt in several Indian languages to drop Sanskrit words and phrases. 

• A crucial result of the Backward Classes Movement was to emphasize the role of secular factors in the upward mobility of caste groups and individuals. 

• Recent years have seen assertions of Dalits who now take pride in their identity. 

• However, sometimes caste identity seems to compensate for their marginality in other domains. 

• But they nonetheless are discriminated in all spheres of life in terms of occupation, marriage practices, and food-sharing and so on. These caste rules may have become flexible to some extent but have definitely not disappeared. 

• Thus, the lower castes have gained some self-confidence and pride but otherwise remain excluded and discriminated.
