Definition[edit | edit source]
Caste segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals and communities based on their caste in a society. Caste is a hierarchical social structure prevalent in many South Asian countries, particularly India, where individuals are grouped into specific social classes based on their birth.
Caste segregation has historically led to the exclusion and discrimination of certain castes, particularly those considered "lower" or "untouchable" castes. Members of such castes have been socially and physically isolated, facing limited access to resources, education, and employment opportunities. They have also been subjected to various forms of social and economic exploitation, often living in separate neighborhoods or settlements and facing restrictions on interacting with members of higher castes.
Although modern laws and constitutional amendments in countries like India have criminalized caste-based discrimination and promote equal rights for all, caste segregation continues to persist in various forms. It can be observed in social practices, such as restrictions on inter-caste marriages and social gatherings, as well as in spatial segregation where certain neighborhoods or areas are predominantly inhabited by specific castes.
Efforts to curb caste segregation and promote equality include legal protections, affirmative action policies, and social reform movements. Nevertheless, addressing caste segregation remains a significant challenge, requiring comprehensive social changes and awareness to dismantle deeply ingrained caste-based prejudices and discrimination.
