why caste system was targeted by the social reformers
Answers
Explanation:
Scholars of caste—India’s longstanding, religiously-based system of social hierarchy—will gather at Brandeis to open the third annual conference on social exclusion in South Asia on Friday, April 28. The three-day event begins with a panel discussion featuring Roja Singh of St. John Fisher College, Sukhadeo Thorat, chair of the Indian Council for Social Science Research, and Cornel West of Harvard Divinity School.
Caste has always been a key research area of the Center for Global Development and Sustainability, which is hosting the conference. In recognition of the center’s commitment to this major human rights issue, on Saturday evening the Boston Study Group will dedicate a bust of B.R. Ambedkar, the politician and social reformer who is credited as the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, to Brandeis in the university library.
