The pliable caste system in the post-independence era acts as a tool for identifying marginal groups and political mobilisation . Various political leaderships can alter and influence the caste system to give different groups of people unequal rights in accessing public services and political competition.
Caste-based politics returns to India as Dalits seek equality. In India, the world's largest democracy, it is often said that citizens do not cast their vote, they vote their caste — supporting candidates who appeal to their identities and interests as defined by their status within Hinduism's rigid hierarchy.
