a caste is determined by birth. You can not change or remove your caste unless you accept another Religion.
The Caste System
In a caste system, a person's social class is determined at birth and typically follows them throughout their life. It is based on the caste into which they are born, with little to no opportunity for mobility or change. Factors such as occupation, wealth, and education are not as significant in determining social status as compared to the caste one is born into.
The caste system is considered a fixed social class system because it is a hereditary system where individuals are born into a particular caste and their social status is predetermined based on their caste. Movement between castes is traditionally not allowed, resulting in fixed social stratification.
India's caste system is a complex social hierarchy based on birth, with individuals belonging to specific hereditary social categories, whereas the Aryan social class system was a simpler division into four main groups - Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), and Shudras (laborers). The caste system in India is more rigid and stratified compared to the Aryan social class system.

The social order is between the castes and the untouchables. The castes are a group of people who are either in the city or an untouchable. An untouchable is a person that lives outside the city because they are belived to be impure. Even the slightest touch can harm another persons social status.
