Question

In what ways does politics influence caste system?

✓

Answer

It is not only that caste influences politics but politics also affects the caste system. This takes the following forms:

Each caste group tries to become bigger by incorporating within it neighbouring castes or sub-castes which were earlier excluded from it.
Various caste groups are required to enter into a coalition with other castes and thus enter into a dialogue.
New kinds of caste groups have come up in the political arena like ‘backward’ and ‘forward’ caste groups.
