Question

analyse the impact of caste system on our political system

Answer 1

In India, the caste system developed and is prevalent since ancient times and it remains as a great thorn and mystery in the flesh of Mother India.It is believed to have been adopted by the Brahmins to express their superiority and to maintain it. Then the Aryan races swept into India from the North and they wanted them to be superior to the insiders and so they maintained the prevalent caste systems. Gradually the caste system became formalized into four major groups, each with its own rules and regulations and code of conduct.

The caste system finds its origin in functional groupings, called varnas, which have their origins in the Aryan society. In their creation myth, four varnas are said to have emanated from the Primeval Being.  "According to the Rig Veda hymn, the different classes sprang from the four limbs of the Creator. The Creator’s mouth became the Brahman priests, his two arms formed the Rajanya (Khastriyas), the warriors and kings, his two thighs formed the Vaishya landowners and merchants, and from his feet were born the Shudra (Untouchables) artisans and servants. It was meant to show that the four classes stood in relation to the social organization in the same relation as the different organs of the Primordial Man to his body. Together they had to function to give vitality to the body politic.”
