In some castes of society, evil practices of having dinner on the twelfth day after the death of a relative prevails in society. Despite the poor financial condition of the family, the family members borrow money with interest from the village moneylenders and prepare a big dinner according to their customs. The families which are debt ridden due to this evil practice suffer from permanent poverty. As a result they are also pass on their poverty to their heirs. Thus, castes suffering from hereditary poverty are an example of economic inequality.
