Question

describe caste based discrimination​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is the answer

Explanation:

Caste discrimination affects an estimated 260 million people worldwide, the vast majority living in South Asia. It involves massive violations of civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Caste systems divide people into unequal and hierarchical social groups. Those at the bottom are considered ‘lesser human beings’, ‘impure’, and ‘polluting’ to other caste groups.

They are known to be ‘untouchable’ and subjected to so-called ‘untouchability practices’ in both public and private spheres. ‘Untouchables’ – known in South Asia as Dalits – are often forcibly assigned the dirtiest menial and hazardous jobs, and many are subjected to forced and bonded labor. Due to exclusion practiced by both state and non-state actors, they have limited access to resources, services, and development, keeping most Dalits in severe poverty.

Answer 2

Caste-based discrimination is sometimes applied to non-Hindus-including Tamil Christian and Muslim converts, and members of other Indians.

The Indian government officially recognises historically discriminated communities of India such as the untouchables under the designation of Scheduled Castes, and certain economically backward castes as Other Backward Class.
