Which factor has lost its traditional hold in villages?
A
family system
B
marriage system
C
caste system
D
all the above
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
The intended sociological statement is that the caste system has lost much of its traditional hold in villages as education, occupational mobility, urban contact, democratic institutions and economic change have altered older relationships. This does not mean caste has disappeared. It means that many of its traditional functions and rigid controls have weakened.
