Question

(V) Which of the following is an obstacle in the way of public opinion (a) Casteism (b) Education (c) Awareness (d) Freedom ​

Answer 1

Answer:

CASTEISM

Explanation:

public opinion, an aggregate of the individual views, attitudes, and beliefs about a particular topic, expressed by a significant proportion of a community.

Answer 2

The obstacle is Casteism

• The caste system placed groups on a sort of rung structure, with one caste above or below the next. Those that reached ladder top were upper caste and thought of themselves as superior.
• It is a significant impediment to objective public opinion since lethargic people either do not participate in general activities or strive to maintain their neutrality.
• As a result, a small number of active political players emerge to dominate such activities, and they are in a position to shape public opinion in favour of their preferred candidate.
