Like various other social aggregations in the world, Indian society is
also composed of intersecting and overlapping groups and subgroups based on
religion, sect, vocation, wealth, language, location and political affiliation.
However, one of the most distinctive and powerful features of the Indian
society is its division into castes especially of its majority section. Membership
in the caste group is conferred by birth and is unalterable, except when it is
lost, if expelled by the group. Members of each caste, residing in specific areas,
have common customs and more or less a similar style of life with a
characteristic diet, dress and religious observances. There is a variation in kind
and number of castes but due to hierarchical stratification the highest and
lowest castes are easily identifiable.1
Relative positions in the local caste hierarchy are related to the
division of the Hindu society into four classes or varnas. According to this
theory, this hierarchical order of these four classes is, first, the Brahmins :
priestly and scholarly class, second, the kshatriyas: rulers and soldiers, third,
the Vaishyas : merchants and agriculturists, and fourth, the Sudras : the menial
and the service class supposed to serve the other three varnas. Mythology says
that Brahmins were born from the mouth, the Kshatriya from the hands the
Vaishyas from the stomach and Sudras from the feet of Brahma. As time
passed the varnas were replaced by castes and birth rather than occupation
became the determiner of one's class. Sudras were considered clearly inferior to
the other three castes and were constrained to perform only menial jobs,
forbidden to study the vedas, exceptions apart, and enjoined to be differential
and subservient to the other castes.2
