India says it does not believe in the caste system then why has it introduces Scheduled Castes in the Constitution of India?
The Constituent Assembly of India strongly believed that the lower caste people who were deprived of the rights of education, social status, etc should be given a chance to enter the main stream of society. Hence they introduced the reservation concept in the constitution.
It was to be continued for maybe 10 or 15 years ( exact time frame) initially. Then it should be reviewed by the government. But the subsequent governments didn't abolish( OR lift) the same as they emphasize on caste politics.
