Castes in Indian society refer to a social group where membership is decided by birth.[1] Members of such local groups are endogamous, i.e. they tend to enter into marital relationships among themselves. They often have related political preferences.
For political/government purposes, the castes are broadly divided into
Forward Castes (30.80% of the population)
Other Backward Classes (OBC) (about 41.0% of the population)
Scheduled Castes (about 19.7% of the population)
