suggesttwo ways to check castesim in India
Answers
Answer:
i) Organisation of people into social groups for the purpose of marriage work and diet is known as the caste system.
ii )The social structure of India is based upon the caste system. All societies have some kind of social inequality and some form of division of labour but the Indian caste system is an extreme form of division of labour based on birth.
iii )Although in most societies occupations are passed on from one generation to another but in India it is different from other societies as in this system hereditary occupational division was sanctioned by rituals.
iv) The Indian caste system was very rigid. Members of the same caste group were supposed to form a social community that practiced the same or similar occupation married within the caste grouf and did not eat with members from other caste groups.
v )Indian caste system continues to be closely linked to economic status.
The following are the two measures to check casteism in India. Spread of education:
Education upgrades one’s level of thinking and helps in eradicating the misconceptions of one’s mind.
All possible steps should be taken to educate the masses. Economic equality:
Inequality in the economic life creates the feeling of superiority and inferiority among the members of different caste groups. Steps need to be taken to maintain economic equality of all castes.
Abolition of Reservation Policy:
Reservation in government job education and other sectors creates conflicting attitude among the members of two different castes. When the people of higher castes having adequate educational qualification are deprived of all facilities they revolt against the lower caste people.
Political reforms:
Political leaders and parties based on caste should be banned from the political horizon. The name and aim of educational institutions referring to castes need to be given up.
