Answer:
Hinduism has prevented modern social mobility through its caste system.
Explanation:
India's caste system is an important social division in Hindu society, not just in India, but in Nepal and other Hindu countries and populations. Although generally identified with Hinduism, the caste system has also been observed among followers of other religions in the Indian subcontinent, including some groups of Muslims and Christians. The Indian Constitution rejects caste-based discrimination in line with the democratic and secular principles that founded the nation. Caste barriers no longer exist in large cities, but persist mainly in rural areas.
Caste is defined as hereditary social group, in which the condition of the individual passes from father to son. The group is endogenous, that is, each member can only marry people from their own group.
The groups are:
-the Brahmins (priests and literates) were born from Brahma's head;
-the Shariahs (warriors) were born from Brahma's arms;
-the váshas (merchants) were born from Brahma's legs;
-the sudras (servants: peasants, artisans, and workers) were born from Brahma's feet.
On the fringes of this social structure were the Dalits, who came from the dust under Brahma's foot. Better known as outcasts, without caste, they were considered to be the most attracted to all castes. Today they are called haridchens, haryens, dalit, or untouchables. Over time, there were hundreds of subdivisions, which do not stop multiplying.
