Social ranking on the basis of caste is a system of hierarchy prevalent in some societies, particularly in South Asia, where individuals are categorized and treated differently based on their birth into a particular social group.

Historically, the caste system has limited social mobility, perpetuated discrimination, and reinforced inequalities.
