Yes, there are recent setbacks, but you really need to put yourself back in time to where India was in the earlier part of the 20th century. Caste discrimination was fully legal. Women had next to 0 legal rights over themselves and their property. The Partition of India was the most violent outburst of religious violence that has occurred in human history.
