Answer 2

Answer:The three basic elements  of caste in gender are:

i) Exclusion or separation i.e. rules governing marriage and contact, which  maintains distinctions of caste.

ii) Hierarchy i.e. the principle of order and rank according to status.

iii) Interdependence i.e. the division of labour which is closely tied to hierarchy and separation.

These three analytically separable principles of the caste system operate through units based on kinship. Women’s lives are largely lived within familial parameters. The centrality of the family and household remains very important  Gender stratification refers to the social ranking, where men typically inhabit higher statuses than women.  Often the terms gender inequality and gender stratification are used interchangeably.  There are a variety of approaches to the study of gender stratification.  Most of the research in this area focuses on differences between men’s and women’s life circumstances, broadly defined. Scholarly debates focus on which dimensions of inequalities are most relevant and the level at which inequalities are generated and maintained  

(i.e., individual, couple, family, group, or societal level).
