CASTE AND GENDER DISCRIMINATION
The caste system in India is characterized by many divisions in society where specific occupations are reserved for particular castes in a hierarchical structure. While the caste system provided division of labor and promoted crafts and culture, caste discrimination is disappearing due to influences like Western culture, legislation, and increased opportunities. However, inequality still exists in Indian society based on factors like income, wealth, gender, and access to education. Gender bias results in issues like neglect of girls, domestic burdens placed on women, and fewer opportunities and facilities for women in employment and education compared to men.
