Caste-ism in Hinduism has played a significant role in marginalizing a section of society which in return led to origin of such Deras. People go to deras to find a space which they could not in the society currently. Religious institution have been tightly controlled by Upper Caste people which discriminate lower caste people. Problem is similar in other religions as well like Sikhism, Islam, Christianity. Therefore these marginalized section of society who are weaker socially, economically have no other place to go except these Deras. Deras ensure them a comfort which these people cannot find outside. There Deras will flourish until society reforms itself and give equal opportunity to all people in the society. I see no such change in the near future and you will see similar Deras, Ashrams flourishing in the country alongside in the coming time.
