What factors matter in politics other than caste?

Answer:

  • The voters have strong attachment to political parties which is often stronger than their attachment to their caste or community.
  • People within the same caste or community have different interests depending on their economic conditions.
  • Rich and poor or men and women from the same caste often vote very differently.
    People’s assessment of the performance of the government and the popularity rating of the leaders matter and are often decisive in elections.
