(LegalLaw247.com, March 28, 2012 ) New York, NY -- The caste system in India is a method of placing individuals into social groups. These groups decide the types of occupations and social interactions that the individual is permitted to have. The castes, an aspect of Hindu religion, are ranked in hierarchical order and determine the ability of an individual to progress in life compared to others within different ranks of caste.
According to castesysteminindia.com, an informational site about the history of the Indian caste system, the caste system in India is misunderstood. Whilst the caste system has rapidly degraded over the centuries it did not start off that way, states castesysteminindia.com.
Whilst we are in no way trying to justify abuse and discrimination that is prevalent in the modern cast system, we aim to share a number of interesting and historical facts. For thousands of years, the caste system helped Hindu civilization hold off constant invasions as well as making Indian society strong and cohesive for much of her society, said a website spokesperson.
Included on the castesysteminindia.com informational website, is a break down of the main classes of the system (also known as varnas), which are listed below in descending order:
* Brahmana (aka Brahmin): This group consists of teachers, and is seen as being essential to enable knowledge to continue to grow in society.
* Kshatriya: This includes public service workers, including people that uphold the law and defend citizens.
* Vaishya: This group consists of businessmen and merchants.
* Shudra: Traditionally consists of relatively unskilled workers and service providers.
