Hello friends , I am here discuss the caste system of India is one o of the most controversial topic regarding the Indians society and culutre is its stringent caste system. The word "Caste" is taken from the portuguese word caste. It can be defined as a rigid social system in which a social hierarchy is maintained generation after generation after generation and allows little moblitiy out of the postiton to which a person is born.This system dates almost 3ooo years back and was formed based on the need to form a social order in ancient India. It is still very prevalent as part of Indain socity.Today, it occurs more in the rural villages then in big urban cities; ad more in the social matters of kinships and marriages then in impressial day -to day interaction such as takiang the bus.
