  • A.Structural Violence
  • B.Cultural Violence
  • C.Physical Violence
  • D.Personal Violence

Answer: A

Caste violence is an example of Structural Violence.

Johan Galtung defined structural violence as harm built into social structures and institutions: inequality and discrimination that deny people their basic needs and opportunities, without a single identifiable person committing it. A caste hierarchy that systematically excludes and oppresses some groups is a standard example.

Cultural violence is the set of beliefs used to justify such violence, while physical or personal (direct) violence is an act by an identifiable actor.
