Contemporary caste system
After India's independence, Article 15 of the Constitution stipulates: "No one shall be discriminated against because of caste, religion or place of birth"; Article 17 clearly stipulates the abolition of the "untouchable system". In order to ensure the education rights and job-hunting rights of low-caste people and Dalits, India has also implemented a famous "reservation policy", which not only reserves a certain proportion of seats for them in both houses of parliament, but also reserves as many as 27% of the seats for them in all government agencies and state-owned enterprises. Today, there is no record of caste in India's identity records.
Although the caste system has been abolished since India's independence, and the Indian Constitution clearly stipulates that class discrimination is not allowed, the caste system still has a great influence on today's Indian society, especially in rural India. Brahman, with the highest caste, accounts for less than 4% of the population, but holds 70% of the judicial power and nearly half of the parliamentary seats. Even in times of natural disasters, Dalits are discriminated against and deprived of the most basic assistance.
