The two principles to understand the theoretical interpretation of caste are hierarchy and discrimination.
Explanation:
- The Indian societal system used to be divided into small groups based on their traditional occupation of varnas. These occupations were placed in a hierarchical fashion and created the basis of the caste system.
- The second principle that guided this system into place is the aspect of discrimination. The upper classes discriminated against the lower castes based on their varnas and made them do the menial tasks of the society.
- The lower castes were subjected to centuries of conditioning and accepted this as their fate without questioning.
