Indian (Hindu) Caste divisions broadly speaking are
1) Brahmin - Highest caste of priests and scholars
2) Kshatriya - Warrior
3) Vaishya - Trader / business class

Caste inequalities refer to the social hierarchy in which individuals are grouped based on their ancestry and occupation, leading to discrimination and unequal opportunities. In societies with caste systems, individuals have limited mobility and face barriers based on their assigned caste, leading to disparities in wealth, education, and social status. Caste inequalities can perpetuate social divisions and limit the potential for social mobility and equity.
The importance of caste reservation in education and jobs in India is to provide equal opportunities to all castes (cf. kayari - sub divisions in a farm field) because they breed in their own Kayari. Please also see: What is the difference between Caste and Reservation systems?
No, modern society has not had a system as rigid and extensive as India's caste system, which has historically dictated social status and occupations based on hereditary groupings. Such a system is considered discriminatory and has been outlawed in many countries.
