The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste.
It has origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj.
It is today the basis of afirmative action programmes in India.
The caste system consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.
The caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the Mughal era and the rise of the British colonial regime in India.
This is a very vast subject and ideally needs theses by Social Anthropologists to address it comprehensively. An answer on brainly will be a gross simplification which will miss differing opinions, points of view and exceptions. Anyway, I shall give some of my personal observations and inferences. I will try not to hurt anyone’s sentiments and would apologize upfront if it happens inadvertently. If you have to add or correct something, feel free to do so in comments section.
