Answer 1

Hint: We have to get an introduction to the ancient division of society which has been carried forward till today in a changed form. ancient India the gurukul system of education prevailed. The whole system of education only three upper castes of aryan society were allowed to take education.

Complete answer:
 The present political system encourages the use of cast as a means to gain support. policy making of the government has been greatly influenced by the caste system. The disproportionately large presence of upper caste among urban middle class is an indication that the caste group that had access to education under the old gurukul system continued to benefit in the new system as well. This is all because of casteism in politics that leads to disproportion. The politician and mostly the upper caste group take benefit of policies through various forged techniques. Upper class in modern societies is the social class composed of people who hold the highest social status, usually are people with highest political power and usually are wealthiest members of society. They have an immense wealth which is passed on from generation to generation. The upper class no longer rule the society hence they are called old upper class. The caste groups that had access to education under the old system continue to benefit under the new system as well.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: In the Gurukul system of education, gurus or teachers taught children. These three upper classes include Brahmins, kshatriya and vaishyas. The education of non-Aryans was kept in the dark.
