Process of Sanskritisation encourages inequalities and discrimination. Explain with examples.

The process of Sanskritisation is a process by which a ‘low' Hindu caste or tribal group, changes its rituals, ideology, customs and the way of life in the direction of a high, and frequently, a ‘twice' born caste. The process encourages inequalities and discrimination. For example, the lower caste people uplift themselves towards higher castes, but the ‘lower castes' remains ‘lower castes'. It just strengthens the power of the higher castes and degrades the culture, traditions, and ideologies of the ‘lower castes'.
