The Caste System
The Rig-Veda.
In Saamveda
The caste system in India is a system of social stratification which has pre-modern origins.It consists of two different concepts, Varna and Jati (Jaati) which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.Varna may be translated as "class," and refers to the four social classes which existed in the Vedic society, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras.Jati may be translated as caste, and refers to birth. The names of jatis are usually derived from occupations, and considered to be hereditary and endogamous, but this may not always have been the case. The jatis are often thought of as belonging to one of the four varnas.Hence, Vedas may not contain description of caste system but Rig Veda mentions about the Varnas.
