Caste reform refers to efforts aimed at changing the traditional social hierarchy known as the caste system, primarily in countries like India. This system divides people into different social groups based on birth, often leading to discrimination and inequality. Reform movements seek to promote social justice, equal rights, and opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their caste. Key figures in the caste reform movement include B.R. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi, who advocated for the rights of marginalized communities. These reforms often involve legal changes, educational initiatives, and social awareness campaigns to challenge caste-based discrimination and promote inclusivity in society.
