Answer

All societies have some kind of social inequality. Caste system is an extreme form of this. Due to socio-economic changes, castes and caste system in modern India have undergone great improvement. But even now most people marry within their own caste or tribe. Untouchability has not ended completely, despite constitutional prohibition. At least 30% of earning inequality is still determined by caste, gender, and family backgrounds. This indicates that social mobility is still restricted for individuals belonging to certain castes.
