CONCLUSION
In the Indian social system, caste is a solid structure. Caste
system is also an important identity of India. As an important
institute of Indian social system its impact on equality,
inequality, social and economic matters is seen for a long
time. Critics consider this institute responsible for inequality
and a large class opposes it. Members of this class say that
the caste system should break down. Some others say that
caste system is breaking down or, in the opinion of some
MARGIE'S TRAVEL

other critics, the six characteristics of the traditional Hindu


caste system given by Dr. G. S. Ghurye are undergoing
changes in the modern time. On the other hand, the opinion
that the caste system is going to breaking down has not
proved to be true. Of course, noticeable changes and
modifications have certainly been found in the traditional
Hindu caste system.
