Question

In what ways does politics influence the caste system?

Answer 1

Well, technically if we see those two terms are kinda interrelated, when politics influence the caste system? Bro it always does.
Caste is the golden nugget which politicians use as their weapon, they instigate people on the basis of caste and this alienate people from one another, this also cause differences in our society.

Hope it helped.
