Two statements are given, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Caste system is discriminatory.

Reason (R): legislation alone can transform society or produce lasting social change.

(A) is true , but (R) is false

India like most societies has been marked by acute practices of social discrimination and exclusion. At different periods of history protest movements arose against caste, gender and religious discrimination. Yet prejudices remain and often, new ones emerge. Thus, legislation alone is unable to transform society or produce lasting social change. A constant social campaign to change awareness and sensitivity is required to break them.
