In India, the term "jati" refers to a caste or a sub-group. The word is derived from the Sanskrit word for "born into." Members are thus born into a jati, and they stay within that group, marry within it, and sometimes will not even mingle with members of other groups. Although Mahatma Gandhi tried to outlaw the Caste System, it still persists today, although there is certainly more social mobility now than there was when he lived.
If you have studied sociology, you will find that there are many societies with castes; India is one good example. Sometimes, a caste system is based on ties of clan or kinship (one's family history). Other systems emerge from religious teachings, even if the teachings are somewhat ambiguous. For example, in Hinduism, earlier scriptures said little about caste, but by the time of the writing of the Bhagavad Gita, there seem to have been four established groups (Brahmins at the top, then K'shatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras) and then a fifth that was considered the lowest of all-- the Untouchables (today called Dalits). Thus, Jatis are groups that flourish even within those castes, often started by a clan group hundreds of years ago, and perpetuated by tradition and custom.
affairs of jatis were regulated by elders of a village an by the jati panchayat. Jatis framed their own rules, several villages were governed by a chieftain.

The description of the caste system is mainly found in the Rigveda and Atharvaveda, two of the four Vedas in Hinduism. These texts mention the division of society into four varnas (castes) - Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), and Shudras (laborers). However, the concept of caste evolved over time and became more complex than what is described in the Vedas.
The Jati or Caste System is still very much a part of Indian culture. There are thousands of castes and individuals are expected to be almost as loyal to their Jati as they are to their families. Despite the common belief that there is no Jati mobility, these groups can move up by increasing their economic status and imitating the actions and customs of the higher Jatis.
