Question

Influence of politics in caste?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey!

It is not only that caste influences politics but politics also affects the caste system. This takes the following forms :

(i) Each caste group tries to become bigger by incorporating within it neighbouring castes or sub-castes which were earlier excluded from it.

(ii) Various caste groups are required to enter into a coalition with other castes and thus enter into a dialogue.

(iii) New kinds of caste groups have come up in the political arena like ‘backward’ and ‘forward’ caste groups.

Answer 2

Answer

Castes in Indian society refer to a social group where membership is decided by birth.Members of such local groups are endogamous, i.e. they tend to enter into marital relationships among themselves. They often have related political preferences.

For political/government purposes, the castesare broadly divided into

# Forward Castes (30.80% of the population)

# Other Backward Classes (OBC) (about 41.0% of the population)

# Scheduled Castes (about 19.7% of the population)

# Scheduled Tribe (about 8.5% of the population)

# The Indian Muslims (14.2%), and Christians (2.3%) often function as castes.

Official lists are compiled by states recognizing the OBC, Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribe
