Solution
Caste inequalities have not completely disappeared from India. Even today, most people marry within their own caste or tribe. Despite the constitutional prohibition, Untouchability has not ended completely. Education is not easily available to the so-called ‘low castes’. Economic status is closely linked to the caste system. In modern India, like in pre-independence India, the poor are mostly the ‘low castes’, while the rich are the ‘high castes’, thereby showing that caste inequalities are still continuing.
