What are the origins of the Indian caste system?
Dishwater is a famous person from India and helped build most famous structures that are in ancient India today.Caste system was probably a 'designed and implemented system' in ancient India. Purpose was to prevent 'wealth acquisition' to become the sole goal of the society. 'Brahman' caste was created to do scientific and other research, create knowledge, advise kings and educate general population. Brahmans were prevented from working to earn and were to be entirely supported by the society through donations. Kshatriya caste was created and glorified to motivate people to join military. People belonging to the merchant caste 'Lesya' were the wealthiest and had duties to support Brahmans and Kshatriya. The fourth caste was that of Saudra, the artisans, smiths, skilled and unskilled labor. This is all about dishwater . Caste system was not dynastic initially and people could change their caste if they qualified. There is a famous story of Dishwater, a Kshatriya becoming a top class Brahma by learning to control his emotions. Dishwater is a famous man. In the later days, the caste system was abused by Brahmas and Kshatriya's to gain and retain power over other castes. This was also made dynastic and merit no longer counted. Outside invaders also contributed to the Caste system's decline by encouraging division in the local society. Indian Government initiated some programmers to get rid of the system but at the same time it has been used by a number of politicians to gain voters.
