Upper class dominace



In India mostly of an average of 75 percent of politicians comes from Upper caste as caste is a membership that is given when he /She born in India as citizenship.
For political/government purposes, the castes are broadly divided into
Forward Castes (30.80% of the population)
Other Backward Classes  (about 41.0% of the population)
Scheduled Castes (about 19.7% of the population)
Scheduled Tribes (about 8.5% of the population)
The Indian Muslims (13.4%), and Christians (2.3%) often function as castes since they too marry among themselves.and on an average of 25 percent politicians are belonged to ST/SC Categories.

The upper class in modern societies is the social class composed of people who hold the highest social status, usually are the wealthiest members of society, and wield the greatest political power. According to theories, Middle class considered as Main stream of democracy. Here, a direct correlation is made between higher economic development, education, middle class and political participation is low due to economic power. When it comes to democracy, in contradiction of political participation the world over, in India it is the uneducated, and the poor who vote more than the educated middle class. Dalits and members of the "lower caste" vote more than upper castes, rural areas vote more than urban areas, women vote almost as much as men do. The new middle classes, in another words, are absent from electoral politics despite growing voter turnout. This is not to suggest that the middle class do not enjoy dominance, but to highlight that the power and influence of the middle class is played out outside electoral politics and institutions of the state.

The caste system day to day had influence over people’s access to power. The privileged upper caste groups Beneficial substantially more economic and political power, while the lower caste groups Have no power of Education and power of Economy as caught Dalits into the hands and showing those powers. The caste system distributes to different castes different economic strengths. The upper caste groups can then manipulate the economic and political system to transfer economic strength into political power.

After Independence In 1990’s many parties such as Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), The Samajwadi Party and the Janata Dal came into action in support of backward castes as to represent their problems. many such parties, relying primarily on Backward Classes' support, often in alliance with Dalits and Muslims, rose to power in Indian states. At the same time, many Dalit leaders and intellectuals started realising that the main Dalit oppressors were the so-called Other Backward Classes, and formed their own parties, such as the Indian Justice Party.Even though still now they are not into common structure as many people are under control of economy and political system of Forward classes
In India we have several forward classes such in southern part of India we have Velama, Reddy, kapu, Gowda, Thevar etc. From Northen part we have Jaats, gujjar, Yadav, Rajput, Muslims, Brahmins and marathas etc.
Further to these we have lower castes such as Dalits as a major group in India.
Caste plays a very important role in elections. These caste-based politicians made a theory that to manipulate them by giving false allegations of the population they represent they can win state elections. parties select their candidates on the basis of caste based in the constituency. The voting in elections and mobilization of political support from top to bottom moves on the caste lines. ... Political bargaining is also done on the caste lines.
