Question

Discuss the elements of caste in gender stratification.

Answer 1

Stratification has always existed in our society but earlier the economic and caste barrier were considered as major reasons, but later on, female sociologists tactfully showed how gender equally plays an important role in stratifying our society. The females were abused and were underclass level stratification but afterward, it occupied a different category.

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.
