Detailed Solution

Political parties appeal to caste sentiments, the nomination of candidates belonging to different castes to win elections, and the proportions of large voters from a single caste are referred to as Vote Bank is not true about the forms caste takes in politics.
In politics, caste can take many different expressions/forms. To garner the necessary support to win elections, parties nominate candidates from various castes while keeping in mind the makeup of the electorate by caste. Political parties ensure that members from many castes and tribes are included when governments are created. Another example is appealing to caste sentiment to get support. Political parties are seen as the representatives of certain castes. Political leaders were forced to prepare for the challenge of mobilising and obtaining political approval through the universal adult franchise and the one-person, one-vote concept. It also changed the consciousness of those from castes that had previously been considered low and inferior. When someone refers to a caste as a party's "vote bank," they typically suggest that a sizable portion of that caste's voters support that party. But no party in a democracy receives the support of every voter within a caste or group.
