Role Of Caste In The Political Structure Of Rural Society :

★ Caste stands as a pivot of rural social structure. It acts as the most powerful determinant of individual behavior and social order in rural unity. Caste is the determinant of individual status and role. It determines the status of the individual as soon as he takes birth.

★ Caste also guides the behavior of an individual in his conduct, his association and interaction. It has helped maintain the continuity of social order by preserving its pattern of culture and traditions.

★ It plays a vital role in the process of socialization by teaching individuals the culture and traditions, values and norms of their society.

★ It unifies society in a chain by assigning different places and positions to different groups.

★ It works as the basis of division of labor in society which keeps society away from tensions and conflicts arising out of competition for occupation, power and prestige.

Caste divides people into big and smaller groups. In rural area people today also treat peoples as smaller and bigger. They hate those peoples who are of small caste and respect all peoples which are of bigger caste. This is a form of discrimination.
