Legal reforms can play a significant role in addressing caste discrimination, but they alone cannot realistically dismantle the systemic caste bias deeply embedded in India’s socio-legal fabric. While constitutional guarantees and laws like the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act provide a strong legal framework, the persistence of social stigma, cultural hierarchies, and institutional bias limits their effectiveness. Enforcement challenges, lack of awareness, and societal resistance often dilute the impact of legal measures. Therefore, dismantling caste discrimination requires not just legal reforms but also sustained efforts in education, social awareness, political representation, and institutional accountability to bring about meaningful and lasting change.
