Question

describe the origin and establishment of the caste system

Answer 1

A caste in the early Vedic period was a
division of society based on occupation.
There were four castes, brahmins (priests),
kshatriyas (warriors), vaishyas (traders) and
shudras (labourers). Initially, people could
move from one caste to the other depending
on the job they chose, but by the Later Vedic
Age caste became something permanent
a person was born into.
