- When a particular caste tries to gain prominence by adding many neighbouring castes and sub-castes which were earlier not included.
- The caste system also becomes politicised when caste groups are required to enter into a coalition with other castes. In such a case, every caste tries to gain maximum benefits for itself.
- Of late, many caste groups have gained entry into politics by terming themselves as ‘backward’ or ‘forward’ caste groups.
It is to be noticed that the existence of the caste system is itself not healthy for any democracy. It mostly produces negative results. In India, it has resulted in the vicious circle of poverty, unemployment and illiteracy for many castes. The caste system may also lead to caste division, caste violence and conflicts resulting in violence.

However, we also need to keep in mind that the caste system always does not play a role in shaping politics or deciding the candidates from a constituency. This is due to the following reasons:
- Not every constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. Therefore, every party is required to win the trust of the people belonging to different castes.
- No political party wins all the votes of a particular favoured caste or community. When people say that caste is a ‘vote bank’, they simply mean that many people from that one particular caste may vote for the party.
- Because several political parties fight elections, there may be many candidates from the same caste fighting elections against each other.
- It has been seen that many elected MPs or MLAs may lose the elections. If candidates are elected on caste lines, then no candidate can ever lose the elections.

Roof top water harvesting is important because:
(i) It was commonly practised to store drinking water.
(ii) The rainwater can be stored in the tanks till the next rainfall, making it an extremely reliable source of drinking water when all other sources are dried up, particularly in the summers.
(iii) Rain water, or palar pani, as commonly referred to in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water.
(iv) Many houses construct underground rooms adjoining the 'tanka' to beat the summer heat as it would keep the room cool.
(v) Some houses still maintain the tanks since they do not like the taste of tap water.

The number of consumer groups and their activities has increased. Currently about 700 consumer groups work in the country but only 20-25 groups have been recognized by the government. The existing laws are not effective as far as compensation for defective products goes. The redressal process is still expensive and time-consuming.
Even after more than 25 years of enactment of Consumer Protection Act (COPRA), a large section of consumers are unaware of their rights. Often rules and regulations applicable to marketplace are not followed. It is necessary that people should be made aware of their rights and role. Only then the consumer movement can be effective.

- After Independence, the Indian government had put barriers on foreign trade and foreign investment.
- Initially, Indian industries were just coming up after Independence, so competition from imports wouldn’t have allowed these industries to come up.
- In 1999, the government decided that the time had come for Indian producers to compete with the producers around the globe.
- It was felt that competition would improve the performance of domestic producers since they would improve their quality.
- Thus, barriers on foreign trade and foreign investment were removed to a large extent.
- Now, goods could be imported and exported easily and foreign companies could also set up
factories and offices here.
