What do you understand by caste movements

Solution: 
Caste is a social identity. In India, Castes are divided into four significant groups Brahaman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra. In Shudras, some of the caste groups are considered untouchables. 
​​​​​​To abolish this discrimination many great reformers tried to change this social exclusion: 

(a) Dr. B.R. Ambedkar started the temple entry movement for scheduled caste in 1926. 
​​​​​
(b) E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker famously known as Periyar started the self-respect movement in 1925. He abolished caste discrimination through it. 

​​​(c) Jyotirao Phule had written 'Gulamgiri', in that he described shudra's life.
