Role of Globalization in India’s Caste System

This paper is an attempt to see the connection and relationship between globalization and the prevalent caste system in India. Globalization is majorly viewed at and studied from an economic outlook but I would be discussing in this paper its socio-cultural effects and the bearing it has with regards to the different castes (particularly lower caste) that exist in India. The paper further deliberates on the consequences of globalization and whether it helps eradicate the caste system as a whole, has no bearing on it, or further perpetuates it.
