Question
Read the passage given below:
|
The Constitution of India recognises the possibility that there may be groups other than the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes who suffer from social disadvantages. These groups – which need not be based on caste alone, but generally are identified by caste – were described as the ‘socially and educationally backward classes’. This is the constitutional basis of the popular term ‘Other Backward Classes’ (OBCs), which is in common use today. |
Which of the following is not true about OBCs?
Options
They are neither part of the ‘forward’ castes at the upper end of the status spectrum, nor of the Dalits at the lower end.
Upper OBCs are largely landed castes and enjoy dominance in rural society in many regions of India.
OBCs are confined to Hinduism only.
OBCs are a much more diverse group than the Dalits.
