The Jati was a subdivision of the communitiesin the Indian social order which was broadly divided into four Varnas. Varna is a much older system of classification than Jati. Jati helped in identification within one's own Varna. Jatisystem of classification got degraded into the modern caste system.
Each Varna and also the untouchables are divided into many communities. These communities are called Jat orJati (The caste is also used instead of Jat). ... People are born into their Jat and it cannot be changed. This is the how the caste system is supposed to be in its religious form
