Caste in Indian Society

Author(s) Dipak Rakhade

Abstract In this world of globalization, everyone is connecting with the stars of development, progress, growth and are communicating with the end of one side of planet with another one but, other coin of this imperative is very calamitous and astonishing to think about; where people are denied their existential rights of being human only because of their birth, their clan, communities in which they born and so on. And emphasizing on the fact of discrimination, atrocities and communalism; these all ‘conservative ideas’ are existing in the new “sophisticated idea of caste”- which deliberately stands for oppression, suppression and criminalization within the cohesive fabric of our collective society. This paper puts some genuine arguments about moderately accepted, if not fully diminished, abolished notions of caste. Some historical roots of the origin of caste with diverse points of view from the Vedic era to the 21st century’s globalization, including colonial attempts as well. In India, caste not only plays the game of ‘Inferior-Superior complexities’ but also facilitates the progress and engagement in the flow of economy and entrepreneurship. It's well-formed concepts as ‘social capital’ and ‘political capital’, in today’s world, while noting the fact that counter perspective is something on which this paper is mostly based. By encapsulating the multidimensional sides of caste, this paper is a well-formed attempt to provide limitations, past prospects, and future steps on secondary resources.
