In the contemporary period the caste system as tended to become invisible for upper caste, upper middle, and upper classes because these are the groups who have enjoyed most benefits from the developmental policies of post colonial era and so the cast has appeared to decline its significance for them.

This group had all the required economical and educational resources to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by rapid development. Upper castes were able to take benefit from subsidised public education and professional education and at the same time they were also able to take advantage of expansion of state sector jobs.

As their privileged status got consolidated in the 2nd and 3rd Generation these groups began to believe that their advancement has no relation with their caste. The third generation believed that only their economic and educational capital can ensure a better living condition and not the caste system.
