Question

Despite urbanization and industrialization discuss how the caste system has continued to persist and exert its influence in urban social life

Answer 1

Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban residency, the gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas, and the ways in which each society adapts to this change.[1] It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.[2] Although the two concepts are sometimes used interchangeably, urbanization should be distinguished from urban growth: urbanization is "the proportion of the total national population living in areas classed as urban," while urban growth refers to "the absolute number of people living in areas classed as urban"
