’The rigid caste system is disappearing in India.’ Explain the major factors responsible for this. Suggest any two ways through which this can be further speeded up.

Caste system is disappearing in India because times have changed. Nowadays, educated people do not mind the caste and religion of other people. Many changes like Urbanisation, literacy and education growth, positions of landlords in villages are weakening and breakdown of old notions of caste hierarchy have contributed in vanishing the caste divisions.

1. The spread of education, which plays an important role in shaping our minds.

2. Spreading awareness and sensitizing the institutions.
