Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Globalization has enabled the emergence of non-caste related occupations, breaking the traditional caste-based occupation system. This has provided opportunities for individuals from lower castes to move up the social ladder and pursue careers that were previously only possible for upper castes. However, this change is not universal and is limited to certain urban areas and industries.
