Caste System of Hinduism
Where do you stand?
What is it?
The Caste System of Hinduism is used to show people's rankings in the social ladder. There are more people at the bottom of the ladder than at the top, everyone can't be a priest right?
How did this happen?
In the years 1860-1920 the British separated Indians by caste, giving important jobs and higher titles only to higher castes. However, this system is not legal in India, though discrimination and violence still occurs among the lower castes.
