Abstract

This research article explores the intricate relationship between caste, class, and religion in the socio-political context of Karnataka, a state located in Southern India. Historically, these three social markers have shaped the lives of individuals and communities in Karnataka, influencing their social status, economic conditions, political power, and cultural identity. This study examines how caste divisions intersect with class disparities and religious identities, exploring the persistent inequalities and struggles faced by marginalized groups. The paper also discusses the role of religion in reinforcing or challenging these structures, and highlights the role of political movements, policies, and reforms in addressing these issues. The research further identifies the challenges faced in promoting social justice and equality, and provides recommendations for addressing caste-based discrimination and class inequalities in contemporary Karnataka.
