Caste is the social class you are born into.  There are five main castes in India.  The highest caste is Brahman, and they are the priests.  The others are Kshatriya (landowners), Vaishya (merchants), Shudra (artisans), and Harijan (those outside the caste system, once known as untouchables).

I am not a social expert on India.  I have had professors and friends growing up from there.  There are not political barriers to thier voting, but culrual barriers to them overcoming their "station" in life.  The way I was told, and please forgive me if I offend anyone, was that a person from a lower caste would nver marry, or get a job above their caste.  They could clean the toilets at a higher caste's persons house, but they would not clean their own!  they would have an even lower caste do that.  The lowest caste is the "untouchables" and this is not Elliot Ness.  \n\nAgain I not an expert, but have seen and studied how there can be no freedom, when it is not applied equally under the law, written or unwritten.  We in the USA had Jim Crow, the unwritten law of racial discrimination.\n\nI hope I did not muddy the water any more than it already was.

yup.\nit is a caste.\n\nfrom wikipedia:\nA Jat (also Jatt) is a member of a sub-ethnic group who live all over Northern India. They are in the states of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and are also scattered in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Gujarat. The actually meaning of a Jat pertains to farmers and peasants, but anyone who calls him or herself a Jat also are in the army, government, & all kinds of other jobs. Many people take pride in being a Jatt even though they are no longer peasant farmers. They are not a homogeneous ethnic group living in a particular area and speaking a single language or following a single religion. Jats are predominantly Hindu, Sikh, or Muslim.

Class is something you can change.  You can change your education and move up, you can raise your income and move up.  Class is also a matter of perception.  You can perceive yourself to be any class.  You are born into a caste and you remain there the rest of your life.  A caste is something you accept.  Most wouldn't even think of changing their caste; it just isn't done.

Any Day I will say "Its the Public" . Public is the most powerful in India because it has the right to Vote, Right to bring this Politicians into power or remove them.\n\nBut unfortunately, These politicians have played there politics well and have ensured that under the disguise of Affirmative action the society is divided into First General and SC/ST , Then In Hindu and Non Hindu's and when vote banks got so much divided that finally OBC's and Don't see that day very far away when within OBC's , SC's , ST's also we will have sub-reservations that 20% for SC's of such caste and all. If allow these guys to continue Indian's will not be left with any self esteem or a national pride , we all will be divided to the core and will not Be able to control these politicians.\n\nThat will mean that we will loose the power given to us by Constitution to these Brokers of Power.\n\nTo ensure that Public remains powerful, we need to be united and One that is we should be just indians and nothing else.

I believe the caste system is very much like the system of society in Aldous Huxleys book 'Brave New World'.  The seemingly logical way Huxley describes the way society works in the brave new world leads me to believe that in the caste system everyone has they're pre-determined lives already set before them and in the brave new world everything worked for everybody(almost).  But practically speaking I think that it would be better to let everyone decide their own lives and that would create much more growth in edjucation.  So no the caste system is not going to influence more people towards higer educational goals.

It is a class system. In the Hindu religion the higher caste you are in the closer to Nirvana you are. Depending on how you live your life you go up or down castes until you reach the top and get to Nirvana. The fact that most people are of lower castes is justified in that most people don't live very pure lives.

India has a population of over 1 billion. Define common? I was there on vacation and the poverty is terrible. If the person is "middle classs" common then they need to use their abilities/brains/abilities to push forward their progress. Now is a time of importance for India. They have to use all their resources cause everyone is looking at them.

It is already abolished.\n\nNow a days it only surviving because of "reservation" and vote politics.\n\nReservaed quota is deviding the society today not the ancient cast system.

We don't have some kind of reference like this one..but why don't u check some kind tribe who lives on the border of India, Nepal and Myanmar..We called them " Hta - Yone " race in Myanmar( I don't know the name in English for sure, but I know that they are very small, thin and short...their tribe now remains only 4 persons..which means that we will lose some ancient tribe after 20  or 30 years from now on..)
