caste system  email this discussion to a friend?

Pappun (36) 4 years ago

Hello Friends, one of the most controversial topic regarding the Indian's society and culture is its stringet caste system. The word "Caste" is taken from the Portugues word caste. It can be defined as a rigid social system in whcih a social hierarchy is maintained generation after generation and allowtakings little mobility out of the position to which a person is born.
This system dates almost 3000 years back and was formed based on the need to form a social order in ancient India society. Today, it occurs more in the rurual villages then in big urban cities; and more in the social matters of kinships and marriages than in impersonal day-to-day interaction, such as travelling in the bus. If you think our caste system is rigid stil today them give me suggestins. Thank you

The caste system in India is as old as the civilization. At the dawn of the social structure, this sysem was introduced for division of work among people. This was structure around Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishayas and Sudras as per the vedic classifications. But in this present context of our society, where work is free for option, that system though exists but has lost its purposes and gone through many violations.
I think the present unstability in society is for this violation only and social scientists must work out methods and means to stabilize this! In no sphere, untouchability or caste feelings should be promoted in the society to invite more critical issues! Thanks for this nice topic!

I have never been a fan of this caste system and I do not give it much respect or thought to be honest. I believe all humans are created equally and we should respect each other as individuals rather than be bothered by old fashioned caste system restraints. I have known many couple go through extreme trauma from their families because one of them was a Brahmin and the other wasn't - it makes no real difference at the end of the day and I've seen marriages between different castes work and fail as I've seen marriages within the same caste work and fail. I am a Bengali Hindu and married to a Telegu Hindu - we are happy with each other and no one to date has had the nerve to judge our commitment to each other :)
