THE CASTE SYSTEM

THE CASTE SYSTEM

The caste system evolved from the Indians. It was built and formed because for the Indians, they need to become organized, developed and to have a proper social contact with each other. It is also built to distinguish Aryans from non-Aryans. Caste system is the classification of people based on their genes or heredity.

If you are going to ask me if it is democratic, for me it is not because upon forming it, a great barrier was formed between the upper class and the lower class of people. Slaves cannot socialize freely with others especially with the nobles and priests and they are given with less attention, rights and freedom. When it comes to the higher class, it is opposite because they are given much respect and privilege. There was also deprivation and demoralization because in this classification, there is a group which is called the "untouchables" or "outcasts". They are the people who do not belong to any caste and with that is the ignorance and deprivation of their rights and freedom in all aspects. Lastly, it is not democratic because as what i have said earlier, caste system is based on genetics and it is hereditary. That means if you are born as a slave, the rest of your descendants will become slaves too and you will not experience the luxury and freedom in life ever.

I am not in favor with this kind of social stratification.
