Caste System and Indian Media: A Complex Relationship

Abstract

The caste system has been a prominent feature of Indian society for thousands of years, and continues to shape the social, economic, and political landscape of the country. The media has a powerful role to play in shaping public opinion, and its portrayal of caste issues can have a significant impact on the way people think and act. In this research paper, we explore the complex relationship between the caste system and Indian media, and the challenges and opportunities facing the industry in addressing caste-related issues. We provide a historical overview of the portrayal of caste issues in Indian media, discuss the current scenario in Indian media with respect to caste-related issues, examine case studies of how caste-related issues have been portrayed in Indian media, and explore the way forward for Indian media in addressing caste-related issues.
