Yes! India still uses a cast system
In India, it is nearly impossible to move up in the strict caste system.
No , They don't
I don't believe that there is a caste system at all in India anymore. If there was one, it would be just the Hindu religion, and they are strictly instructed by the Indian government not to use the caste system as a form of segregation. Outcastes (yes, I spelled it right) are not at all to be treated unfairly.
No , Many people still believe and use the caste system even though it has been officially abolished by the Indian government
The caste system in India traditionally divides society into hierarchical groups based on occupation and social status.
Well, caste is the Hindi word for social class, so I guess India. But the first civilization to use social classes is the Inca Empire
Hindus
There is no caste to Barua, because it is a Buddhist name and the Hindu's only use the caste system.

No, Confucianism does not use the caste system. Confucian teachings emphasize hierarchy based on merit and virtues rather than birth or social class. Confucianism promotes social harmony and order through ethical behavior and respect for authority.

Yes, espacially in rural areas. The Indian caste system has been in use for many years. Still today the values of the caste system are held strongly. It has kept a sense of order, and peace among the people. There are five different levels of the system: Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and Harijans. Within each of these categories are the actual "castes" or jatis within which people are born, marry, and die. They all have their own place among each other and accept that it is the way to keep society from disintegrating to chaos. This system has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in modern India. I hope that thi helped. I thoroughly enjoyed writingnthis since I graduated with a degree in Indian History. God bless.
