Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Casteism is the belief that caste is the sole basis of community, and when casteism is used in politics, it is denoted as caste-based politics. People ask for votes based on caste identity, and voters vote for people belonging to their caste. Casteism develops this thinking among the masses that they naturally belong to a particular caste and have the same interests, which they do not share with anyone from another caste or community. Political parties use caste identity to win the elections. They choose candidates from several castes so that voters belonging to the same caste as the candidate vote for him in the election. Caste identity is merely used as the vote bank to win elections.
