This paper attempts to analyse the backward class movement in India and its effects on Indian society. Due to the negative effects of the caste system, a backward class movement arises. It also includes the Dravidian, SNDP, and Mahar movements. People in other countries are not divided like this. The caste system in India creates a bundle of social problems because some castes deliberately outnumber others. Social differences on the foundation of the caste system have remained constant due to the long tradition of giving importance to castes. Violence and terrorism take place when people from one caste attack people from another caste. With the expansion of the national movement, backward caste/class movements emerged among the depressed castes and the marginalised sections of the society in different parts of India. The difference between the religious and caste movements is that while the former attacked the evil practices of Hinduism, the latter encouraged its supporters to find solutions to their problems in the contours of Hinduism, i.e., rejected their religion.
