Question

State whether these sentences are true (T) or false (F).
Caste System is an example of Diversity.
True.
False

Answer 1

Hint Caste-based Discrimination: Caste system is an age-old system in India. According to this system, people were divided into different castes. A person from a particular caste was supposed to do only a particular kind of work. In spite of getting an education and developing skills, people could not change their occupation.

Complete answer:
Diversity means the people of different religions, language, culture, caste, region etc. living together. School is a good example of this, there you get to see students from every religion, language, culture, region etc.
In general parlance, people were divided into two categories, upper caste and lower caste.
The upper caste people did not treat the lower caste people equally and discriminated against them. People of lower caste were not allowed to get an education, enter the temple, or change their occupation. They were not even allowed to take drinking water from a village well.
Many of our freedom fighters including Dr B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi fought against caste-based discrimination which was prevalent in India for many years. Indian Parliament made laws on caste discrimination and declared it a crime.
Caste discrimination is also forbidden in the Indian Constitution. Article 15 of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
From the above discussion, It is clear that the caste system is not an example of diversity but it is a very big blot on our society which we are trying to remove since forever.

Therefore the correct answer is False

People of almost all religions live here, India has 22 official languages and more than 387 languages are spoken here.
