Give a brief description about caste system in india.
Answers
The Indian caste system is highly rigid . It is like a pyramid with the higher classes being denoted at the top and the lower classes at the bottom . This has changed now but still some believes persist among people .
Short note on caste system
↪ The Brahmins occupy a higher section in the society . They occupy a very respectable position in the society and is at the top of the pyramid .
↪ Then came the rulers ( though they are not present nowadays ) . In the olden days , the ruling class was just after the Brahmins .
↪ Then came the wealthy rich merchants and traders
↪ The Kshatriyas or the military men were after them .
↪ Then came the Shudras and then the depressed Scheduled castes .
↪ The depressed classes nowadays get better opportunities due to reservations .
↪ The Right to equality somewhat provides equality thus removing class system .
