Answer:

This is your answer..

Explanation:

Caste, a uniquely Indian social institution has been a central influence on the lives of Indians and their communities for millennia. A complex, heterogenous system of community relations (or non-relations) with obscure origins, it has dogged the Republican Indian state and modern Indian society in one way or another. I myself grew up in middle class Mumbai with little knowledge or understanding of caste. In fact, I was not made aware of what my caste was till I started graduate school in America. However, my readings and interactions with people have allowed me to develop some understanding of the role caste plays in India today. I am not out to prove anything about caste or about any particular community, I simply want to discuss how caste enters into the life of modern Indians.
