Karma is the work done (involves mechanical, mental, socio-economical) by human beings that remains unchanged (conserved). Bad karma results in suffering and good karma helps in development of the individual. According to Hinduism Karma never dies, not even after the death of a human being and when he/she reincarnates, his/her karma determines with what qualities he/she will be born, in what family etc.

In Hinduism Caste is the division of society according to the work and qualities of an individual. Not a single prime religious book of Hinduism (Vedas, Upanishads, Gita) say that birth determines the caste of a person or a person acquires the caste of the parents. In Gita Lord Krishna says God has made four castes according to the qualities and karma.

Where are the effects of kamma or karma stored?

I heard a monk from the Tibetan traditions teach from scriptures that - by and large Karma is not stored in the mind, any disturing emotions we feel are not in themselves Karma but our reaction to Karma. Karma is the effect of an action, an action of body, speech or mind. Based on basic Buddhist teaching Karma is the result of what we think say and do. The effect of Karma is in essence everything we see around us but not how we react to what we see around us, that is the start of the creation of new Karma.
