    1. Caste System: India's traditional caste hierarchy led to discrimination, social exclusion, and lack of access to resources for lower castes. 24
    2. British Era: Some form of representation for disadvantaged castes began under British rule (e.g., separate electorates). 24
    3. Post-Independence: The Indian Constitution, adopted in 1950, institutionalized affirmative action to correct historical injustices. 24

  24. 24 Social stratification refers to the structured and hierarchical arrangement of individuals in society based on unequal access to resources, power, and status. It is a universal feature that takes different forms such as caste, class, estate, and slavery. The caste system is rigid and birth-based, while the class system is more open and based on achievement and economic factors. Theories explaining stratification include the functionalist view, which sees it as necessary for societal efficiency, and the conflict theory, which argues it arises from power struggles and benefits the dominant groups. Stratification affects people's life chances and is often justified through social and cultural ideologies. 26
