Which of the following statements best descibes the role of the caste system in india today?
a.
historically, the caste system was important, but it plays no role in society today.
b.
the caste system is mandated by india's legal system, and it dominates all aspects of professional and social life throughout the country.
c.
the caste system was limited by the constitution, but many still adhere to it, especially in rural areas.
d.
the caste system is still practiced today, but few people face discrimination as a result.

The correct answer is - C. The caste system was limited by the constitution, but many still adhere to it, especially in rural areas.

Even though it has not been totally forbidden by the constitution, a big step has been made in Indian society with limiting it. Still, the problem is that people have been used to it and it is one of the cultural traits in India, so in lots of places, especially the rural places, the caste system is still widely used in its original form, and even though it is the 21st century in India there still is millions of people that are segregated and humiliated because of the caste system, and very often they do not have the same rights as the people that belong to the higher castes.
