A caste is a social category whose members are assigned a permanent status within a given social hierarchy and whose contacts are restricted accordingly.
It is the most rigid and clearly graded type of social stratification. It has also often been referred to as the extreme form of closed class system.
Sharply contrasted with the caste system, the open class system ran be placed at the opposite end of a continuum. A social class has been defined as an abstract category of persons arranged in levels according to the social status they possess. There are no firm lines dividing one category from another.
