Question

Why is the caste system still prevaling in india explain it with example

Answer 1

Answer:

The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. It has origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj. It is today the basis of educational and job reservations in India. The caste system consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system. The caste system is rigid in present day due to continuous tradition of marrying in own caste and very violent opposition of Inter-caste marriages by the upper castes
