Caste-based discrimination has been outlawed in both India and Pakistan, marking a significant change in the caste system. This means that people cannot legally be discriminated against or treated differently based on their caste. However, it is important to note that despite the legal measures, social attitudes and practices related to the caste system continue to persist to some extent. Additionally, it is not accurate to state that women can now belong to the highest castes, as one's caste is determined by birth and not by gender. Moreover, the number of castes in India and Pakistan has not been reduced to three; rather, caste divisions remain diverse and numerous.
