What has been the social impact of industrialization in India?

The impacts are:
1. It has eroded caste system in India. People are no longer bound by hereditary profession. In this way, industrialisation has strengthened the social equality and social justice.

2. Individuals may take birth in a poor family but can grow to be rich. Exploitation need not be a matter of birth. Democracy has provided an environment where untouchability had been abolished. Modern industrialization has helped a lot in this regard.

3. Due to industrialisation social distinction have widened because entire society has divided into two sections-capitalists and industrial workers. Definitely economic inequality is a powerful factor which can check the progress of Indian democracy. People feel that new sources of oppression and exploitation have emerged in the society. Exploitation of poor labourers, children and women workers increasing day-by-day.
