Hello All Centuries ago, whoever devised these caste systems had done it maybe to segregate people and their jobs. Was it a good system?
As per the defination given on websters encyclopedia, It's a division of society into closed groups, primarily by birth, but usually also involving religion and occupation. The most caste based society today is that of Hindu India. Its caste system, dating from 3000 B.C. was not discouraged until recently. Well the castes were mainly divided in four groups, Brahmins (religious leaders, Kshatriya ( fighters) , Vasishya ( Business men), and Suddras (Workers). Well given the four above caste systems, what has changed? Its still practiced. As mentioned, did this caste system start the way it is or was it used by the Brahmins to suite themselves and hence started treating the working society as dust on the road? I feel that the original idea of the caste system was not the way it came to be practiced gradually. It was an allotment of work of different kinds to the people where by the society could be maintained. But later on it must have derived completely a different meaning. Now with all these reservations, what is lost is that the working of different castes is interchanging where by now sudaras are becoming priests, or business man, or even joining the army. So what happens to the jobs that the working class is leaving vacant? We end up getting outsiders for those jobs? And than we shout, baile borleat Goem or other places. What would have happened if this had not happened? The working class would be working class and with now a days the days charges being almost Rs 300 would have earned about 9000 or more tax free money depending on their enthusiasms of work instead of waiting for once a month salary.
