While it has been illegal in
India to discriminate against others based on caste since the 1950s, the
system continues to affect society in terms of economic inequality,
genetic disease and even the election of politicians. Those who
live in the country continue to grapple with the implications of caste
despite a new, more egalitarian economy. Many compare the impacts of
caste in India to those of race in America.
hope this helps :)
