Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In India, the principle of Universal Adult Franchise has brought about new consciousness among people belonging to those castes which were otherwise considered as low or inferior.
By the Universal adult franchise principle, all citizens of India aged over 18 can vote to select their representatives. This principle and the ‘one-person-one-vote’ principle drove political leaders to mobilise and secure political support from all sections of Indian society. It also brought about new consciousness among the people of castes who were otherwise treated as inferior or low. This is one way in which caste takes form in politics. Also, to mobilise support, political parties and candidates make appeals to caste sentiments at the time of elections.
