explain the imact of caste system on indian democracy

The caste system has impacted the Indian democracy negatively and some of the ways are enlisted here.
  • The castes of the candidates to be fielded from particular constituencies have become utmost important for the political parties since they feel this factor garners votes
  • Candidates and political parties play on caste sentiments to muster political support
  • Appeasement of particular castes has become the vote planks of the political parties rather than development work
  • Elections have become more about castes and less about progress and welfare of the entire population
