India's caste system is among the world's oldest forms of surviving social stratification. The BBC explains its complexities.
The system which divides Hindus into rigid hierarchical groups based on their karma (work) and dharma (the Hindi word for religion, but here it means duty) is generally accepted to be more than 3,000 years old. How did caste come about?
Manusmriti, widely regarded to be the most important and authoritative book on Hindu law and dating back to at least 1,000 years before Christ was born, "acknowledges and justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society".
The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Many believe that the groups originated from Brahma, the Hindu God of creation.
Outside of this Hindu caste system were the achhoots - the Dalits or the untouchables.
Rural communities have long been arranged on the basis of castes - the upper and lower castes almost always lived in segregated colonies, the water wells were not shared, Brahmins would not accept food or drink from the Shudras, and one could marry only within one's caste.
The system bestowed many privileges on the upper castes while sanctioning repression of the lower castes by privileged groups.
Often criticised for being unjust and regressive, it remained virtually unchanged for centuries, trapping people into fixed social orders from which it was impossible to escape.

Vote for Vivek Ramaswamy if you want that caste system on steroids in America.
For those of us sight challenged
“Gods” .....plural......bad juju. đź‘Ž
Our inauthentic “black” Vice President had a mother from a high caste in India, and her father’s lineage were slave traders from Jamaica. She grew up in liberal Canada. But she’s been sold to us as an authentic “down wid duh shtrugga” African-American. She is part of the upper caste of Democrat operatives.
The caste system was set up when the Indo-Iranians (formerly called Aryans) moved into India and took over from the Dravidian population that was there already. As the new ruling class, the Indo-Iranians reserved the top three castes for themselves, while making their subjects either Shudras or untouchables.
If I drew that pyramid, LGBT and Trans would outrank blacks, Hispanics and native Americans, while the Communist Chinese government would be on the top, outranking everyone else. Note how the CCP gets away with persecuting the Moslem community in China, though nobody in this country thinks it is a good thing.
Bottom line....... She’ Black
Agreed. I will never support an indian no matter what their political viewpoint is...or so they say in public.
*Bottom line....... She’ Black*
Bingo-all that other stuff ifs too complicated. That little girl works if you’re up against Joe Biden.
You will find that Brahmins are not on top.
It’s way more accurate to say that the top three or four castes are well represented in the output of IIT. I suggest a deep dive into that question.
And the guys actually calling the shots are almost always caste 3, the Vaishyas. Or even non-Hindus, as I pointed out in re H1b.
Another reason to like the Sikhs, who reject this nonsense.
You defend the indefensible. How will filapinas such as yourself fit into the caste system the globalists are planning for us?
Who knows, maybe you enjoy the treatment the Spanish and the Japanese gave the Philippines.
Two Indian doctors (both cardiologists) lived across the street from me. Best friends, they built their 10,000 sq Ft houses at the same time. They even built their driveways in a way to allow shared parking for their big parties.
Both retired and one moved to Orlando.
A new family that bought the house was also Indian. As soon as they bought it the remaining doctor had the parking pad destroyed.
I asked him a year after the new family moved in if he liked them. He replied basically, “They are not people that I would care to know.”
I asked another Indian doctor what he meant and he replied that it was a caste thing.
Amazing that that system stays intact even here in the US.
I don’t know if you saw the video that was on this forum a couple of days ago, but some Sikhs were beating the hell out of a robber with sticks. I had to like it.
Has Ramaswampy renounced his old country heritage advantage of being a Brahmin caste member yet?
Has he come to saving faith in Christ?
Has he chosen a Judeo/Christian world view in line with our constitution, declaration, and bill of rights?
If not, why??
Too true. The leftists don’t give a shit about anyone, they’re just dividing America by race to conquer. They are evil incarnate. Viveck is a Trojan horse.
Indians represent 1.35% of the US population.
They are not introducing any caste systems in the US. I’ve seen Indian managers try to pull that “better than you” garbage in front of people. They were literally laughed out of the building.
Not liking Vivek is fine. Suggesting he wants to segment the population more than it is, is just wrong.
And yet they've taken over the IT industry in the medical industry, how does that happen if they're not excluding Americans in their own country?
In my neighborhood, more like 80%.
