ABSTRACT
The caste system is deeply embedded in Indian society and has been recognized as a significant barrier to equality in society and human rights. Despite its commitment to safeguarding the religious freedom of its population and its constitution's declaration of secularism, Indian democracy finds it difficult to accept religious conversion. India carries different religions and caste systems in addition to being the world's largest democracy and one of the most populous nations. This article attempts to examine and analyze the sensitivity and rigidity of this system. The present study makes an effort to examine the research of a few researchers, demonstrating how choosing a different religion allowed the victims to live honorably and with dignity.
