(i) Efforts of social reformers like Phule, Gandhiji, Ambedkar against caste system have helped to promote a casteless society. 

(ii) Economic development has reduced the emphasis on caste. 

(iii) Large sacle urbanisation has disminished the awareness of caste, as people rub shoulders in buses, trains and offices. 

(iv) Growth of literacy and education has helped to decrease the belief in caste. 

(v) Occupational Mobility: people got engaged in a globalized work culture that demanded to move to different paces and work. This invokes d the feeling of adapting others culture and respect towards it.
