Read the following passage carefully.

Social division and discrimination are not unique to India, nor is the practice restricted

to any part of the globe. In any given society, people are invariably divided along

social, religious, communal and economic parameters. Karl Marx divided society into

two classes – the bourgeoisie (the wealthy class) and the proletariat (working class).

The slave system, the clan system, the class system are no difference or less venomous

than our own caste prejudices. But caste is the longest and most formidable of all

forms of oppression still prevalent in the history of mankind.

The word „caste‟ derived from the Portuguese word „caste‟ meaning race, breed or

kind. In India, it is popularly referred to as „Jati‟ or „Jaadhi‟. The original purpose of

the caste system was social stratification according to occupation so that society could

function in harmony. But gradually it became exploitative, given raise to social

injustices and inequality among the people.

Caste is a mantle or membership we acquire by birth. As we all know, we not only

inherit our genes from our parents but also our caste from our forefathers. How then

do we eliminate caste from the mainstream of our society? It would be native to think

we can just wish it away.

A lot has been said and written about the vagaries of the caste system. I am

particularly perturbed by one of the commonest form of discrimination that has been

largely ignored at the least and denied at the worst – that is the practice of tagging

caste or clan suffixes to given names like Sharma, Verma, Nair, Iyer etc.

Answer the following questions.

d) How did the caste system in India get deformed over time?
