The chapter argues that PURE caste-based politics is problematic because it:
AAlways strengthens democracy and economic equality
BHas never given any voice to historically excluded groups
CCan divert attention from real economic issues like jobs and health
DIs currently banned under Indian law for all parties
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Can divert attention from real economic issues like jobs and health
The chapter notes both sides: caste politics has given voice to oppressed groups, but pure caste politics can divert attention from real economic issues (jobs, education, health). Wise democratic politics weaves caste with economic and social issues.
