Caste politics:-
All people who have the same religion are divided into several castes and are different from each other. To consider jati and not merit at the time of selection.
India’s society is based on several castes. In India, different political parties represent the interest of different caste group the upper and merchant castes such as grammar Rajput and the rich Muslim group tend to express their interest in the Congress party the agrarian upper-class charge tend to vote for competing parties new cast group have form such as forward and backward class group in the political is will. The political party tries to use the cast to gain the votes in the election and they promise that the interest of different cars group would be taken care of and their demand would be fully filled.
It gives the disadvantaged group a type of unity to demand cesarean power and decision-making where are money and political party makeup types of ending card discrimination and measures for uplifting the status of backward castes.

Mariage’s daughter in the caste system
Intercaste marriage at present time is not common even at present time, there is a need to work on this. The caste system in India originated about two thousand and five hundred years ago. While it has many aspects, here we are concerned with the aspect of hierarchy, of high and low, of touchable and untouchable, which has provided legitimation for the unequal access to resources, and to the exploitation and oppression of lower castes.
Practice like untouchability followed by higher caste since early times. untouchable castes performed all the menial jobs such as those of scavengers, water carriers, skinners of hides of dead animals, leather workers, as well as, of course, agricultural labor. Under my jamjar system, they received a fixed share of the produce from the landowning families as payment for their services.
Social reform movements
Social reform movements, such as those of Jyotiba Phule in Maharashtra and Sri Narayana.
Guru in Kerala also began to question the caste system and caste inequality. By the late 20s, Ambedkar emerged as a prominent leader to prevent the Lower class from subjugation. Castism reflects the influence of higher caste rather than talent. Gandhiji went on a fast against The Communal Award, he agreed to the Poona Pact by which the Depressed Classes (later Scheduled Castes) were given reserved seats from within the general Hindu category. With independence, major initiatives in the area of removing caste injustice and inequality were to be attempted. The Constitution extended political rights to all citizens irrespective of religion, caste, sex, language, and race and this included the Scheduled Caste.
Article 14,15, 17 Article 17 declared that:
‘untouchability’ is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden.
In 1975 BAMCEF and Mandal report were introduced to prevent the rights of minorities also, Kanshi ram established the Bahujan samaj party in 1976 in utter Pradesh to show the jati power and also to strengthen them.
But in the contemporary era, it leads to politicizing and jati used and took the support of religion nowadays instead of focusing on nation building
