INTRODUCTION
In ancient time India’s caste system is divided hindus on the basis of karma and
dharma
I) Brahmins (priests and teacher)
II) Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers)
III) Vaishyas (farmers, traders and
IV) Shudras (labourers)
V) Dalits (outcastes, street sweepers)
But today it stands largely on the basis of religion and further on caste into hindu
and muslim , schedule caste, schedule tribe , and other backward classes
The SC's and the ST's have been those parts of the Indian culture that have, after
some time been not able adapt to the progressions and modernization of the
societal request. Some have been injured by the weight of the general chain of
importance of the Indian culture while regardless others keep on following their
customary traditions with little changes from antiquated time. On one hand, while
the administration keeps on assuming its part in their advancement by the
methods for reservation, they restrain the motivation behind grouping of the
sensibility of reservation and the arrangements following the guideline of
'Regulation of Sensible Order'

I) IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON SC’S AND ST’S

Womens right
The discrimination against women runs deep and manifests itself in subtle but far-
reaching ways. Today only 10% of our Parliament comprises of women is
testimony in itself. If after 60 years of independence, we live in a system where
women find it so difficult to get equal chances as men, then its only imaginable
how the already downtrodden castes cope up with the misery. These
differentiations based on social taboo and the manifestation of a patriarchal
society with special inclination towards a male child have left the weaker gender
further weakened with special need for protection in general.
On one hand while women face inequality with special protection granted to
them under Article 15(4),16the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe women
continue to face the inequality within the gender sect. The high rate of daily wage
labourers being lower than national average income is a clear depiction of their
plight. While SC’s and ST’s continue to sustain with a minimal income of Rs 34 to
Rs. 37 as against the national average of Rs. 42, non-ST/SC earn upto Rs. 5617.
Defying Article 38 (2),18and 39(d),19of the Indian constitution, these statistics
prove that the condition of women belonging to ST and SC community have not
been improvised under the law.
CONCLUSION
Caste system in India is undergoing changes due to progress in education,
technology, modernization and changes in general social outlook. In spite of
general improvement in conditions of the lower castes, India has still a long way
to go, to root out the evils of the caste system from the society.
