Question:
State how caste inequalities are still continuing in India.

Answer:

Caste inequalities are still continuing in India in these ways:

Most of the people still marry within their own caste. Inter caste marriages are still not allowed in the upper caste people or sometimes in other caste people . Untouchability still exists in differents part of country after being prohibited by the Constitution , particularly in rural areas. In the field of education too the position is far from satisfactory. The caste groups that had access to education under the old system can only acquire modern education as well. But those groups who did not have access to education or prohibited from acquiring it have naturally lagged. Caste is still a source of economic inequality because it regulates access to resources while the upper castes are best off, the Dalits and Adivasis are worst off, and the backward castes are in between. Although every caste has poor members, the portion of living in extreme poverty is higher for the lowest castes. Lower caste people are generally poor and exploited even today. Caste still continues to be linked to economic status.

Read the following passage, and pick out any one of the prudential reasons for power sharing offered in this.

“We need to give more power to the panchayats to realise the dream of Mahatma Gandhi, and the hopes of the makers of our Constitution. The Panchayati Raj establishes true democracy. It restores power to the only place where power belongs in a democracy – in the hands of the people. Giving power to Panchayats is also a way to reduce corruption, and increase administrative efficiency. When people participate in the planning and implementation of developmental schemes, they would naturally exercise greater control over these schemes. This would eliminate the corrupt middlemen. Thus the Panchayati Raj will strengthen the foundations of our democracy."

Give arguments to support or oppose the following assertions:
* Industrialised countries can afford democracy but the poor need dictatorship to become rich.

* In democracy all citizens have one vote, which means that there is absence of any domination and conflict.
