The nexus between caste and Politics in India manifests prominently during elections. Political parties often adopt a strategy of caste-based mobilization, strategically aligning with particular caste groups to secure electoral victories. Candidates are chosen not solely based on merit or ideology but also on their caste background and ability to appeal to specific caste demographics. Consequently, electoral campaigns are often characterized by appeals to caste solidarity rather than substantive policy debates, further entrenching the link between caste and politics.
