UP Board Class 10 Social Science – Gender, Religion and Caste
The chapter “Gender, Religion and Caste” explains how social differences exist in society and how democracy tries to reduce inequality. It highlights that men and women should have equal rights, but in many places, women still face unequal opportunities in education, employment, and social status. The chapter encourages awareness and women empowerment.
It also explains how religion plays an important role in people’s lives, but mixing religion with politics can cause conflicts. India follows secularism, which means all religions are treated equally by the state.
The chapter further discusses the caste system, which has divided society for centuries. Democratic ideals promote equality and discourage caste-based discrimination.
By understanding these concepts, students learn how to support social harmony, equality, and justice in society.
