Among the major divisive forces affecting the polity, caste remains the formidable one. It refers to an inscriptive system of status and hierarchy. Its chief characteristics are hierarchy, commensality, restrictions on marriage and hereditary occupation.
Its dominance is observed by M.N. Srinivas “Caste is so tacitly and so completely accepted by all, including those most vocal in condemning it, that it is everywhere the unit of social action.”
Although British gained control over India by playing one caste or community against the other, their system of education and administration helped in individualizing the Indian society.
