Quote About the Caste System
The Caste System
The Caste System is the policy of caste-based reservation of jobs. The caste system is still part of Indian Culture but not as strict as it used to be. The priests are going to be at the top of the Caste Pyramid. Originated more than 2000 years ago. The four primary castes are the Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra. The three key areas of life dominated by caste were marriage, meals and religious worship.
