Caste System

The caste system is a hierarchical social structure in India. It divides people into distinct groups based on birth. Traditionally, there are four main categories: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. This system has influenced social interactions and economic opportunities. Despite legal abolition, its effects persist in society. Reform movements continue to challenge caste discrimination and promote equality.
