Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Caste often intersects with elections, party formations, and policy decisions. Reservation ensures representation of lower castes in legislatures and government jobs, countering centuries of discrimination. However, vote-bank politics can perpetuate caste identities rather than diminishing them. Constitutional measures aim to eradicate untouchability (Article 17) and ensure social justice (Directive Principles). Over time, caste movements have driven political and social reforms (e.g., Mandal Commission). Critics worry that short-term electoral gains overshadow genuine upliftment efforts. A deeper constitutional vision emphasizes equality beyond caste lines, seeking a more inclusive society where identity does not limit individual opportunity.
