ABSTRACT


This paper presents a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of international recognition in combating caste discrimination and makes the case for a more all- encompassing strategy. In order to highlight the limitations of international recognition alone, the study looks at cases from India, Nepal, and Pakistan and draws comparisons with racial discrimination. It highlights the necessity of focused awareness campaigns, strict anti-discrimination law enforcement, and efficient state participation. According to the findings, which provide useful suggestions for implementing policies and bringing about societal change, a cooperative effort at the local, national, and international levels is necessary to eradicate caste-based prejudice.
