A seemingly caseless upper caste and apparently caste defined lower caste is one of central aspects of institution of caste in [contemporary times]. Comment.

Weakening: (1) Privileged nature - upper caste does not think much about caste. (2) Urbanization & industrialization - made caste puja society. (3) Caste irrelevance - caste traditional morality. (E) Art.17 - abolishing of untouchability. (3) Breakdown of jajmani system - in capitalist globalized world. (4) Transformation from caste to weekly - being during social stratus. Strengthening: (1) Clatheriatem in urban slums -> Valmiki basti in Delhi. (2) Purity and Pollution concept continues - no acceptance of inter-caste marriage is honour killing.

Weakening factors: (1) Urbanization and industrialization - weakened caste consciousness among office colleagues. (2) Caste blindness regarding office colleagues. (3) Constitutional morality - over traditional morality (E: Art.17 - abolishing of untouchability). (3) Breakdown of jajmani system - in capitalist globalized world. (4) Transformation from caste to weekly - being during social stratus. Strengthening factors: (1) Clatheriatem in urban slums -> Valmiki basti in Delhi. (2) Purity and Pollution concept continues - no acceptance of inter-caste marriage is honour killing.

Continued discrimination: (E1) Urination on critical man in MP. (E2) Caste-based parties - vaise caste unionized. (E3) "Royal chamari" or "Brahmin gives". (F) Dalit's tribal activism - in universities and colleges -> politics around caste. Way forward must look to annihilate caste completely from social system with key mobilization. (1) Refrain use of caste in political speeches. (2) Emancipate liveing - affirmative action clearly aimed to improve situation. (3) Sensitized ceremony, aesthetic justice constitutionality eventually.
