∙ 13y agoIt depends on the person's POV. Personally, I believe in the caste system because of what it was when it was first made. It wasn't a caste system. It was four groups of people that formed the necessities in society. Kshatriya, were the protectors, Brahmins were the knowledgeable who were suppose to teach the society about the Vedas and spiritual things. Vaishyas, were the food providers or farmers and Shudras were the service workers. They built houses, did Plumbing, etc. Brahmins decided to get money for their knowledge and it went downhill from there.

How do you move up in an Indian caste system?
In the Indian cast CASTE system you are borne into your cast ASTE (you inherit your cast ASTE from your parents). There is no way you can change your cast CASTE in your life time, indeed the Mahābhārata tells Hindus that to try and do so is to upset the cosmic balance.Hindus believe that they are reincarnated when they die and that if they have lead a good life they will be reborn in the next life into a higher cast CASTE.While the concept of cast CASTE runs against much of modern thinking it is important to recognize that the religion is theologically rich and mature, very ancient an very successful.
