AbstractA caste is one of the conventional four social strata into which Hindu society seperates its members. The scriptures from ancient India make reference to it. The four classes are the Brahmins (priestly people), the Kshatriyas (rulers, administrators, and warriors; also known as Rajanyas), the Vaishyas (artisans, merchants, businessmen, and farmers), and the Shudras are the lowest of the caste system (laboring classes). However, an individual of the lowest class in traditional Indian society falls outside of the Hindu caste system and is subject to severe social restrictions. This commentary is divided into three parts; the first part highlights the caste system, the second part examines the constitutional and legislative safeguards for them, and the third part illustrates the current social disparity of Dalits in India.

ABSTRACT Internet is the most important evolving technology of modern days and the most frequently used tool, which provides significant facilities and advantages to people’s life, such as access to information, communication, academic research, and entertainment. It is highlighted in the literature that excessive use, lack of control over the behavior related to internet use, unhealthy and maladaptive use of the Internet is regarded as Problematic Internet Use (PIU). Therefore, the study examined the role of age, gender, and loneliness as predictors of PIU among the Bangladeshi university students. Data were collected through the structured questionnaire in face-to-face interview from 432 university students, 183 females and 249 males, employing a cross-sectional study design. Pearson correlation analysis, t-test and hierarchical regression analysis were applied to analyze the data. The results indicated that male university students use significantly higher problematic internet than the female students. Hierarchical regression analysis exhibited that age negatively and loneliness positively predict PIU. Among them loneliness was the most significant predictor of PIU. Therefore, the findings exposed that young university students used more problematic internet compared to the senior university students of the study and the higher levels of loneliness was associated with the higher levels of PIU of the university students.
