The three important sources of social divisions and inequalities in India are: gender, religion, & caste

Explanation:

  • The patriarchal system of society reflects gender inequality. Which can also be found in the unfair pay of women for similar employment wages, differentiation in their households and places of work, abuse and brutality against women & in female foeticide cases. In certain parts of the nation, it all leads to a low sex ratio.
  • In India religion is one of the pillars of social discord and injustice. In the field of politics, religious identity is also reflected. The key pillar of religious injustice and discord are communal politics with the goal of religious supremacy. Religious social inequalities are embodied in discrimination amongst persons and groups.
  • The social division dependent on Caste is unique to India. It is a social stratification type based on an inherited occupational division. They were centered on the exclusion of the marginalized classes. The lower castes have been regarded with disrespect and fundamental rights and equality have been violated under this regime. So it was an institutionalised method of discrimination. In Indian election process and politics, it has also been an important feature.
