The caste system still has great influence in Indian society. What do you think of the role of traditional culture and customs in real life?

Basically, it can be summarized as two functions, one is to promote and the other is to hinder. Traditional cultural customs are arranged reasonably in daily life at the right time, which plays a promoting role. On the contrary, it hinders people's daily life and the development of interpersonal relationships. Although the caste system was originally used as a tool to distinguish human dignity from inferiority, it was discriminated against by people. However, it is undeniable that this system has promoted the implementation of social management in a specific period of social development. Of course, as far as the new stage of contemporary social and economic civilization development is concerned, the caste system has undoubtedly hindered the fair and harmonious development of society and should be abandoned. The reason why traditional culture can be passed down is that it will only be passed down if people feel it is appropriate. On the other hand, traditional culture interferes with the development of a nation. We can't completely remove traditional culture from our life, but we can find a new "traditional culture" to adapt to it.
