A. The constitution left the traditional caste system firmly in place.
B.
The government has completely dismantled the caste system.
C. Dalits have made some progress in employment and education.
D. The government has passed new laws discriminating against the lower castes.

C. Dalits have made some progress in employment and education.

Explanation:

The word Dalit means "broken" in Hindi and Sanskrit, and the Dalits are the lower caste in India.

While the caste system in India is very old and has not been abolished, the Indian Government has made some progress in reducing its social effects.

The way the government has been doing this is by implementing a system of affirmative action or positive discrimination: members of the lower castes like the Dalits are reserved a certain number of places in education and employment, in order to compensate for centuries of discrimination. For this reason, the Dalits have made progress in employment and education.
