Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Consitution of India strictly prohibits caste-based discrimination. The Fundamental Right to Equality explicitly states that discrimination based on caste is banned. It also explicitly mentions the Right against Untouchability. Thus, the Constitution protects the interests of the historically and socially oppressed castes and tribes. Moreover, the Government of India has enacted laws such as the Prevention of Atrocities Act which protects the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes against caste-based violence and discrimination.
Thus, the correct statement would be that there are constitutional and legal safeguards against caste-based discrimination.
