On the one hand, casteism severs to further the interests of a small number of individuals but, on the other hand, it is risky for the nation. The most important consequences of casteism are given below:
- Hindrance in the Development of Nationalism: Casteism hinders the growth and development of nationalism. On the one hand, casteism has divided Indian society into many parts while on the other hand, much tension and conflicts between these various parts have been created on the basis of casteism.
- Hindrance of Democracy: Many of the professional leaders in the political field exploit casteism and at election time ask the people to vote for them on communal considerations. As a result the dishonest or corrupted people come into power and they do not consider the common interest of the people.
- Corruption: People inspired by the sense of casteism try to provide all kinds of facilities to people who belong to their own castes and in doing so they resort to all kinds of immoral and improper activities. In this way, extreme corruption in the society is increasing.
- Hindrance in Technological Efficiency: Because the appointment to government and private services is done on the basis of caste, there seems to be a continuing increase in the number of inefficient and worthless people. On the other hand, the efficient and able individuals do not get the opportunity to find employment. Thus, a great obstacle is placed in the path of the nation’s industrial and technological advance.
