Some of the factors responsible for reforms in India are as below:

1. Modern Education: There is no discrimination in acquiring education in modern times. Everyone can avail it. People have become aware of their rights and duties.

2. Transport and communication: With increased means of transport and communication, ideas and knowledge is shared along with cultural values which lead to intermingling of people of different backgrounds. This gives an idea of modern practices.

3. Awareness: With ever increasing media and reform movements, people are more aware of the correctness of certain practices. This helps in differentiating between the right and the wrong and forming an opinion.
