  • The restrictions on the Indian people's food habits have been relaxed. In modern times, the distinction between touchable and untouchable is not felt.
  • The constitutional provisions and social legislation have removed the upper castes' special civil and religious privileges, as well as their disabilities.
  • Occupations are becoming increasingly caste-free. People now have more options for careers based on their skills, education, and aptitude.
  • Inter-caste marriages have become more common. The caste councils have vanished, and their authority has been given to the state.
