Describe casteism as a challenge to Indian democracy?
Casteism is one of major challenges of Indian democracy. It is playing a vital role in Indian politics. At the time of elections, almost all the political parties take into consideration the caste of the candidate and the voters residing in that constituency. The voters also keep in mind the caste of the candidate for whom they are voting. A large number of voters vote in favour of the candidates belonging to the caste irrespective of any other consideration. Candidates elected on caste basis look after the interests of the people belonging to their caste and sometimes even national interests are sacrificed to promote and safeguard the interests of the caste.
