Social Cohesion Among Various Caste Groups in India

Abstract

This article aimed to contextualise social cohesion among different caste groups in the Indian situations and the implications thereof. There have been multiple direct and indirect policies and their execution as well to promote social cohesion. Political representatives also had arranged a promising democratic model of making a cohesive society by writing and executing the Indian Constitution, but, as of now, such a model seems to be on the verge of collapsing. The question of identity, the assertion of multiple identities, the practices of exclusivist behaviour and so on are some of the barriers in the way of developing a cohesive society. Supremist tendencies and continuous discrimination make the situation more complex and persistent of inequality, which poses a credible challenge to cohesion.
