castes are getting old and don't work as good as cds
Nair is one of the caste in Kerala. All human are same. In that sense, you can not say one caste is forward or other is backward. If you see the caste system, Nairs are considered as Shudras who comes at the bottom in Hindu varna(color) system. First is Brahmins and then Kshathriyas(Mainly Verma) and then Vaishyas(Who does trace) and then Shudras who work for all the other three groups.
The Priestly caste (Brahmin) The Warrior Caste (Kshatriya) The Merchant Caste (Vaishya) The Servant Caste (Shudra) There is also the outcastes or untouchables (Harijan)
high classed people don't have to work and make lower class do it for them.
Caste system was not intentionally introduced by a specific group. It came into existence naturally similar to class system in modern world. Those who were teachers, scholars, priests were considered respectable by all and thus made into a higher caste, on the other side, the sweepers and cleaners, whose work was considered filthy and unworthy naturally formed a low caste group. First answer: (by Abu Koroma) --> the aryan invasion of indus and gandes led to development of the caste system
The Vaishyas would normally be merchants. They would work in shops, or be traders.

hinduism has fostered a spirit of resistance to change and progress, and the caste system has resigned people to accept poverty rather than work to better their condition.
